A major study of PFAS-contaminated drinking water into people living near military bases in Bucks and Montgomery Counties shows associations with elevated cholesterol, increased blood pressure, and lower childhood development, according to preliminary findings. PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a family of compounds known as forever chemicals because they resist breaking down in the environment and in the human body. A separate analysis showed cancer clusters in those communities, but more research is needed to determine whether there is a correlation between cancer rates and the water, say the study’s investigators. Lead researchers from RTI International and Temple University presented the findings Wednesday at Hatboro-Horsham High School during an event hosted by the Buxmont Coalition for Safer Water. The ongoing study, part of an effort by the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and Centers for Disease Control, examined PFAS exposure in Pennsylvania and seven other states: California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and New York. It included 5,826 adults and 710 children ages 4-17. » READ MORE: People who lived near Bucks, Montco military bases had higher level of toxic compounds in blood than U.S. average Wednesday’s presentation focused on Pennsylvania, where researchers...
