Researchers identify metabolic and organ damage from exposure to PFBS, mooted as a PFAS replacement for textiles
FUKUOKA — Researchers at Kyushu University in Japan say that a replacement PFAS chemical accumulates in zebrafish embryos and disrupts metabolism, heart function and nervous system development.
The findings concern perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), a short-chain member of the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) family, adopted as substitutes for some restricted longer-chain compounds.
