"The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has this week released new data
which tells us about the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
in Australians’ bodies.

The data comes from concentrations measured in blood samples of nearly 7,000
people aged 12 and over, collected as part of the National Health Measures
Survey for 2022–24.

The findings are concerning, showing PFAS are detectable in the vast majority
of the Australian population, to varying levels.

But are they cause for alarm? What do these findings mean for our health?"
