PFAS in Drinking Water & Health

What are PFAS and what do they do to your body?

• 🔗 RIVM – PFAS: Risks to public health

  Describes health risks: including reduced fertility, increased cholesterol, lower birth weights, reduced immune system function.

International perspective on PFAS in water

• 🔗 EPA (US) – Health Effects of PFAS

  Links PFAS to thyroid problems, cancer, immunotoxicity and liver problems. But also to reduced fertility, hormone disruption, increased cholesterol and weakened immune system

Long-term exposure to PFAS

• 🔗 Harvard Public Health – PFAS: link to hormone mediated cancers

  connect PFAS to ovarian cancer and melanoma, among others.

  Drug Residues, Chemical Cocktail in Water

  190 tons of drug residues in surface water

  • 🔗 Central government - drug residues in water '

    "causing sex change in fish" what impact will this have on humans?

  Impact on people and nature

  • 🔗 Union of Water Boards - Medicine residues in water 

    Discusses how drug residues circulate through drinking water.

• In addition, there are also articles that are hard to find, removed or behind a paywall, such as an article published by De Volkskrant on June 7, 2017 with the title "Tap water contains traces of 140 medicines" which was based on a study by the RIVM and the STOWA report (Foundation for Applied Water Research) with the title "Medicines in the water chain". Why these sources were removed? We don't know for sure, take a guess we would say ;)

More than 11.6 million Dutch people use medication

In a country with approximately 17 million people, you could say that we live in a very sick country. Just think about the fact that all these people pee and poop every day, and that all ends up in the sewage.

Microplastics & BPA (plastic bottles)

Microplastics in drinking water and human blood

• 🔗 WHO – Microplastics in drinking water

  WHO advises caution despite unknown long-term effects.

• 🔗NOS – Microplastics found in human blood

  Study shows microplastics in the blood of 17 of 22 people

  
  

BPA and hormone disruption

• 🔗 National Institute for Health and the Environment - the risks of BPA

  BPA acts as a hormone disruptor and can affect fertility and behavior.

  Fluoride & Hormone Balance

  Is fluoride really that safe?

  • 🔗 Harvard Study – Fluoride exposure linked to lower IQ

    Fluoride associated with neurotoxicity and lower IQ in children .

  Endocrine disorders (hormones)

🔗 Stowa – Hormone disrupting substances in drinking water

Fluoride and PFAS are classified as “endocrine disruptors” – linked to fertility problems.

NIH- on endocrine disruptors

Most of the writing is about PFAS and PFOA, but fluoride also falls under the "endrocrine disruptors".

Heavy metals: Lead, Mercury, Arsenic

Heavy metals in drinking water and their effect on health

• 🔗 CDC – Heavy Metals and Your Health

  Lead and mercury are harmful to brain development and neurological functions, especially in children.

Lead in Dutch tap water?

• 🔗 RIVM – Risks of lead pipes

  Lead can still be found in old homes, especially dangerous for babies and pregnant women.
