    Just watched this today. I want to have the PFAS blood test done but I’m also afraid to see the results. On the flip side, my local water utility sent out an email last month that their system is free of lead pipes and PFAS levels were either not detected or lower than EPA regulatory limits. It’s scary that those regulations are going to be removed soon.

      Blood serum PFAS concentrations thankfully have been decreasing over time. It’s probably not worth getting yours tested unless you had some specific exposure other than consumer goods. You should ask your doctor, if you have one.

      This data is from Canada, but the results are similar for the US.
