Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure is widespread and has sparked major concerns about health impacts in highly contaminated communities. The Feng lab has made significant contributions to our understanding of the reproductive toxicity of PFAS by studying PFAS mixtures that replicate PFAS levels in highly contaminated drinking water, as well as emerging PFAS compounds such as perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (PFBS). We have reported that maternal exposure to PFAS mixtures and PFBS at environmentally relevant doses leads to adverse birth outcomes through dysregulation of placental function and fetal neurodevelopment. Recently, our preliminary data demonstrated that exposure to…
