Zu Beginn der Woche haben wir über Umweltchemikalien gesprochen. Nun möchte ich auf eine wichtige Klasse von Chemikalien eingehen, die als „endokrine Disruptoren“ bekannt sind. Dabei handelt es sich um Chemikalien, die den Hormonhaushalt des Körpers stören. Zu ihnen gehören unter anderem PFAS. 1/6

#PFAS wirken sich negativ auf die Gesundheit aus, auch auf Schwangere und deren ungeborene Kinder. #UFZ Forscherinnen um @anazenclussen.bsky.social zeigen, dass sie die Funktionalität der Plazenta vor allem in der frühen Schwangerschaftsphase stören. 👉 www.ufz.de/index.php?de...

#PFAS beeinflussen zelluläre Immunantwort auf #Corona-Virus, das zeigen #UFZ-Forschende um die Immunologin @anazenclussen.bsky.social in einer aktuellen Studie. Menschen, die hohen PFAS-Belastungen ausgesetzt sind, könnten weniger gut auf Impfungen ansprechen. www.ufz.de/index.php?de...
