Today, most doctors would say that breastfeeding reaps the most benefits for mothers and their children. However, the presence of PFA\u2019s in breastfeeding mothers has alarming effects on their children. When new and expecting mothers expressed concern to their doctors and health departments, many of them were denied breast milk testing by the state. This testing would help determine the levels of PFA\u2019s they are giving to their children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2015, a small town in New York was notified that there were PFA\u2019s found in their drinking water. Maryann Jacobs, a resident of Hoosick Falls, had her baby son tested for PFA levels after becoming growingly concerned. The results of the test revealed that although he had never drinken the contaminated water, he had alarmingly high PFA levels &#8211; equivalent to that of a factory worker. Although Maryann\u2019s PFOA level was near 0, and she had not drinken the contaminated water since she had become pregnant or while she was breastfeeding, she still transferred dangerous levels of PFA\u2019s through breastfeeding. This dilemma is not specific to Hoosick Falls. PFA\u2019s have been identified all over the United States, leaving breastfeeding mothers with a complicated dilemma.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) was granted a $30 million dollar budget to conduct a study in locations which have been affected by PFA\u2019s. This study has been delayed multiple times. However, the Biden administration has made it clear that they are focused on following through with their promises to take action regarding PFA pollution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mothers may be unwillingly transferring PFA\u2019s to children by breastfeeding. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":3583,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-enpress-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
