Abstract: “Scientists assessed associations between PFAS exposure and fertility outcomes in a cohort of women residing in Singapore. Study findings show that higher PFAS exposures are associated with decreased fertility in women. PFDA followed by PFOS, PFOA, and PFHpA were the biggest contributors to the PFAS mixture associations.”
