A new Italian study has found a
connection between PFASs, chemical substances that can be found
in a variety of products including medication, disinfectants and
paints, and cardiovascular diseases, researchers said Friday.
The research, which was published by the International
Journal of Molecular Sciences, discovered that these pollutants
can activate platelets, making them more susceptible to
coagulation and increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The study was carried out by a team of researchers led by
endocrinology professor Carlo Foresta, with Luca De Toni and
Andrea Di Nisio.
