'The occurrence of 'forever chemicals' in the atmosphere above the pristine Amazon Forest is shocking,' said Dr Ivan Kourtchev. It poses potential risks to unique wildlife and vegetation.
'In sensitive ecosystems with rare or endangered species, such disruptions can have devastating effects on biodiversity and species survival,' Dr Kourtchev explained, highlighting the broader implications of PFAS.
'When our body confuses this chemical with our hormones we can become infertile,' said Dr Kourtchev, indicating the potential human health risks linked to PFAS exposure in the Amazon.
Studies have shown that PFAS, referred to as 'forever chemicals,' are linked to serious health issues including infertility, behavioral problems, and various cancers, emphasizing urgent environmental concerns.
