Outlines of a pregnant woman and a man with affected organs highlighted. Effects linked to PFAS with high certainty: thyroid disease, increased cholesterol levels, liver cancer, kidney cancer, testicular cancer, and, as developmental effects on the unborn child, delayed mammary gland development, reduced response to vaccines and lower birth weight.
