Objective: The objective of our study is to critically summarized the neurotoxicity of Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and linked this environmental pollutant with movement disorders and developmental neurotoxicity.
Background: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a type of chemical that was widely employed in manufacturing and is now found in the environment all over the world. Although many PFAS are detectable in human blood serum, the potential for adverse health effects is unknown. Many investigations have been done so far to assess and investigate PFAS and related substances toxicity and better understand the connections between environmental pollutants and its implication on human health. In this presentation we will highlights critical assessment of various investigations reported and PFAS neurotoxicity. PFAS has also been associated and linked linked to developmental neurotoxicity
Method: Systematic review of literatures
Results: Many investigations have been done so far to assess and investigate PFAS and related substances toxicity and better understand the connections between environmental pollutants and its implication on human health.
Conclusion: critical assessment of various investigations reported and PFAS neurotoxicity. PFAS has also been associated and linked to developmental neurotoxicity.
