The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has initiated a significant study to assess the levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as 'forever chemicals', present in the bodies of average individuals in the UK.
Dr Edward Wynne-Evans from the UKHSA and Professor Tony Fletcher from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine are involved in discussions about the knowns and unknowns regarding PFAS and their potential health impacts.
The findings from this major study are not expected to be released until 2027.
