Plasma per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance mixtures during pregnancy and duration of breastfeeding in the New Hampshire birth cohort study

These findings further support the growing literature indicating that PFAS may be associated with shorter duration of breastfeeding.PMID:38521049 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijheh.2024.114359
