“Children exposed to three different chemical classes — parabens, phthalates and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—before birth and shortly after had reduced lung function at 6 and 12 years old, according to a study released today.”
….” we could “help to prevent lung function impairment, which in turn should prevent the development of chronic respiratory disease in adulthood.”
