"textContent": "PFAS have wide-ranging toxic effects. Now, researchers have found that two non-legacy PFAS, namely perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) and perfluorooctanesulfonamide (PFOSA), appear to speed up biological aging in middle-aged men, but not women. These results suggest that newer PFAS are not necessarily risk-free and should be considered for stricter regulation.",
