Study: Unborn babies exposed to far more ‘forever chemicals’ than previously known A new study indicates that babies in the womb are exposed to a significantly broader range of toxic “forever chemicals” than previously understood. This finding is attributed to the use of advanced screening methods that allowed for more comprehensive measurement of prenatal chemical exposure. The research highlights a greater level of chemical contamination in fetuses than scientists had previously comprehended.

• Babies in the womb are exposed to a wider range of toxic “forever chemicals” than previously known.
• Advanced screening methods were used in the study.
• These methods allowed for a more comprehensive measurement of prenatal chemical exposure.
