Children exposed to very high PFAS levels in the womb show significantly higher (+40%) asthma risk, because PFAS can cross the placenta, according to a study of over 11,000 children born in a Swedish region with 30 years drinking water contamination

Link observed between very high PFAS exposure and asthma in children
Lund University. PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large group of synthetic substances that can be found in many products and foods, including firefighting foam. These substances are highly persistent, and certain types of PFAS remain…

🔬 Study in Blekinge, Sweden, linked high PFAS exposure in pregnant mothers to a 40% increased risk of asthma in children born between 2006-2013.
💧 The study focused on over 11,000 children, with "very high exposure" defined as living in areas with heavily contaminated drinking water for five years prior to birth.
👶 While intermediate PFAS exposure showed no increased asthma risk, very high exposure saw 27% of children develop asthma compared to 16% with low exposure.

Replacing gas stove can help asthmatics as much as some drugs. Swapping to electric has ‘very large’ impact, despite study being scaled back by Trump cuts. 70% drop in hospital admissions and days off from work or school when people with poorly controlled…
💨 Study finds significant asthma improvement with electric stoves: A US study at MetroHealth in Ohio saw a 70% drop in hospital admissions and days off from work/school for individuals with poorly controlled asthma after replacing gas stoves with electric ones.
💡 Early funding termination impacts study scope: The study, initiated in December 2024, was designed for 1,200 participants but was cut short by the incoming Trump administration after completion in fewer than 100 households.
📊 Dramatic reduction in asthma symptoms: Even in the scaled-down study of 72 homes, researchers observed a large effect size. Average asthma scores improved from 2.6 to 1.5, with fewer hospital visits, less wheezing, and reduced reliance on inhalers.
💨 Air quality improvements noted: In 44 homes where air pollution was measured, nitrogen dioxide levels dropped by an average of 70% after the gas stove replacement.
