A recent study has found that some common ‘forever’ chemicals, known as PFAS, can penetrate human skin. PFAS are used in various products, including non-stick cookware and water-resistant clothing, and are known to persist in the environment. The new findings suggest that skin exposure to these chemicals could pose health risks, including cancer and reproductive issues. The researchers are calling for stricter regulations on the use of PFAS and further studies on how they affect the human body through skin contact.
