Summary:
Sebuah klas yang digunakan secara luas terkait bahan kimia industri dengan kanker dan gangguan fungsi kekebalan tubuh - zat alkilat perfluorinated , atau PFASs - tampaknya membangun pada bayi 20-30 persen untuk setiap bulan ASI mereka , menurut sebuah studi baru . Ini adalah studi pertama yang menunjukkan sejauh mana PFASs ditransfer ke bayi melalui ASI , dan untuk mengukur tingkat mereka dari waktu ke waktu .
........... PFASs digunakan untuk membuat produk tahan terhadap air , minyak , dan noda . Mereka sudah digunakan selama lebih dari 60 tahun dalam produk seperti”stain-proof” tekstil , pakaian tahan air , beberapa kemasan makanan , cat , dan pelumas , dan dikenal mencemari air minum di AS dekat berbagai fasilitas produksi ....more
Breastfeeding may expose infants to toxic chemicals

Summary:
A widely used class of industrial
chemicals linked with cancer and interference with immune function --
perfluorinated alkylate substances, or PFASs -- appears to build up in infants
by 20-30 percent for each month they're breastfed, according to a new study. It
is the first study to show the extent to which PFASs are transferred to babies
through breast milk, and to quantify their levels over time.

A widely used class of industrial
chemicals linked with cancer and interference with immune
function--perfluorinated alkylate substances, or PFASs--appears to build up in
infants by 20%-30% for each month they're breastfed, according to a new study
co-authored by experts from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. It is
the first study to show the extent to which PFASs are transferred to babies
through breast milk, and to quantify their levels over time.
"We knew that small amounts of PFAS
can occur in breast milk, but our serial blood analyses now show a buildup in
the infants, the longer they are breastfed," said Philippe Grandjean,
adjunct professor of environmental health at Harvard Chan School.
The study appeared online August 20,
2015 in Environmental Science & Technology. Other study authors
were from Danish universities and the Faroese Hospital System.
PFASs are used to make products
resistant to water, grease, and stains. They've been in use for more than 60
years in products such as stain-proof textiles, waterproof clothing, some food
packaging, paints, and lubricants, and are known to contaminate drinking water
in the U.S. near various production facilities. These compounds--which tend to
bioaccumulate in food chains and can persist for a long time in the body--are
found regularly in the blood of animals and humans worldwide, and have been
linked with reproductive toxicity, endocrine disruption, and immune system
dysfunction.
The researchers followed 81 children who
were born in the Faroe Islands between 1997-2000, looking at levels of five
types of PFASs in their blood at birth and ages 11 months, 18 months, and 5
years. They also looked at PFAS levels in mothers of the children at week 32 of
pregnancy.
They found that, in children who were
exclusively breastfed, PFAS concentrations in the blood increased by roughly
20%-30% each month, with lower increases among children who were partially
breastfed. In some cases, by the end of breastfeeding, children's serum
concentration levels of PFASs exceeded that of their mothers'.
One type of
PFAS--perfluorohexanesulfonate--did not increase with breastfeeding. After
breastfeeding was stopped, concentrations of all of five types of PFASs
decreased.
The results suggest that breast milk is
a major source of PFAS exposure during infancy.
"There is no reason to discourage
breastfeeding, but we are concerned that these pollutants are transferred to
the next generation at a very vulnerable age. Unfortunately, the current U.S.
legislation does not require any testing of chemical substances like PFASs for
their transfer to babies and any related adverse effects," Grandjean said.
Funding for the study came from the
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, NIH (ES012199); the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (R830758); the Danish Council for Strategic
Research (09-063094); and the Danish Environmental Protection Agency as part of
the environmental support program DANCEA (Danish Cooperation for Environment in
the Arctic).
