Individual and mixtures of PFAS during pregnancy are associated with maternal cardiometabolic outcomes during pregnancy

Environmental Health
Introduction Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are endocrine-disrupting chemicals and widespread environmental contaminants. PFAS cross the placental barrier and reach the developing fetus with potential impacts on many organ systems.
