Brown study finds higher PFAS levels in young U.S. veterans

Original: Brown researchers find higher PFAS levels in young U.S. veterans compared to similarly-aged non-veterans

Researchers at Brown University report that young U.S. veterans carry higher levels of PFAS, the long-lasting 'forever chemicals' linked to health risks, than similarly-aged Americans who never served. The findings suggest military service may increase exposure to these substances, which are associated with firefighting foams and industrial materials widely used on bases.

Why now: New research linking military service to elevated 'forever chemical' exposure raises health and accountability concerns for veterans.
