Les substances perfluoroalkylées et polyfluoroalkylées (SPFA), plus connues sous le nom « PFAS » (de l’anglais per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), également appelées polluants éternels du fait de leur persistance dans l’environnement1, autrefois aussi dénommées composés perfluorés, sont des composés organofluorés synthétiques comportant un ou plusieurs groupes fonctionnelsalkyle per- ou polyfluorés. Elles contiennent au moins un groupement perfluoroalkyle –CnF2n–2,3. Il existe probablement entre six et sept millions de PFAS4. Source : wikipedia

Microplastics have been found for the first time in human ovary follicular fluid, raising a new round of questions about the ubiquitous and toxic substances’ potential impact on women’s fertility. The new peer-reviewed research published in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety checked for microplastics in the follicular fluid of 18 women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment at a fertility clinic in Salerno, Italy, and detected them in 14.
Recycled and reused food contact plastics are “vectors for spreading chemicals of concern” because they accumulate and release hundreds of dangerous toxins like styrene, benzene, bisphenol, heavy metals, formaldehyde and phthalates, new research finds.
Many of the world’s plastic containers and bottles are contaminated with toxic PFAS, and new data suggests that it’s probably leaching into food, drinks, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, cleaning products and other items at potentially high levels.
