Children are particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of PFAS exposure. Whether through contaminated water, food, or household products, children can accumulate PFAS in their bodies, which can disrupt their development and lead to long-term health issues. Understanding the specific risks PFAS pose to children is critical for protecting their future health.

How PFAS Affect Children’s Development

PFAS exposure during childhood has been linked to developmental problems, including:

  • Cognitive and Behavioral Issues: PFAS can affect brain development, leading to learning difficulties and behavioral changes.
  • Delayed Growth: Children exposed to high levels of PFAS may experience stunted growth and delayed puberty.
  • Immune System Suppression: PFAS exposure can weaken children’s immune systems, making them more susceptible to infections and reducing vaccine efficacy.

Sources of PFAS Exposure for Children

Children can be exposed to PFAS through several common sources, including:

  • Contaminated Drinking Water: PFAS in water supplies is a major source of exposure for children in affected areas.
  • Food Packaging: PFAS in food containers can leach into food, increasing exposure during meals.
  • Household Products: Items like carpets and upholstery treated with PFAS can release chemicals into the air, which children may inhale or ingest through dust.

Legal Options for Families Affected by PFAS

Families whose children have been harmed by PFAS exposure may be entitled to compensation. Legal claims can help cover:

  • Medical Costs: Covering treatment and ongoing care for PFAS-related health issues.
  • Special Education and Support Services: Compensation for children needing special care or services due to developmental delays.
