#Wale und #Delfine sind stark mit langlebigen #PFAS belastet.

Eine neue #Studie aus #Neuseeland zeigt, dass selbst tief tauchende Arten wie #Pottwale vergleichbare Belastungen aufweisen wie küstennahe Tiere. Die #Chemikalien könnten das Immun- und #Fortpflanzungssystem der Tiere beeinträchtigen.

Auch in #Europa wurden PFAS bereits im Körper fast aller Menschen nachgewiesen.
