The study, conducted by scientists at Notre Dame University, confirms fears that the containers of commonly used products like ketchup and mayonnaise are leaching out levels that pose a threat to human health.
“Not only did we measure significant concentrations of PFAS in these containers, we can estimate the PFAS that were leaching off creating a direct path of exposure,” said study co-author Graham Peaslee, Ph.D., professor of physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Notre Dame.
