Young military veterans have higher 'forever chemical' levels than non-veterans

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often called forever chemicals because of their long-lasting presence in humans and the environment, are commonly found in consumer and industrial products. When Brown University researchers examined PFAS levels in the blood serum of U.S. military veterans, they found that younger veterans had higher PFAS concentrations and a higher prevalence of elevated PFAS levels compared with civilians of similar ages.
