Legal Claim Assistant shares recent research on PFAS and reproductive health as scientists continue to explore long-term hormone and fertility effects.
While research is ongoing, these studies have contributed to public health discussions and further investigation into PFAS exposure pathways in both residential and occupational settings.
“Research teams continue to study possible associations between PFAS and reproductive health,” says Sarah Miller, Legal Assistant at Legal Claim Assistant. “We’re sharing these findings so individuals in high-exposure areas can be more informed.”
Overview of Scientific Research
Multiple publications have evaluated how PFAS may interact with the endocrine system, which regulates reproductive hormones. According to a 2023 study in Environmental Health Perspectives, elevated PFAS levels were statistically associated with changes in hormone levels, ovarian reserve, and sperm quality in certain population groups.
Other research, such as the 2022 review published in Human Reproduction (https://academic.oup.com/), suggests a potential correlation between PFAS and delayed puberty, menstrual cycle irregularities, and reduced fertility markers.
Public Health Agency Positions
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes in its PFAS fact sheet that some studies have shown changes in hormone levels following PFAS exposure. While no definitive causal link has been established, the CDC and the National Academies of Sciences recommend continued biomonitoring and further research.

“For individuals living near contaminated water sources or PFAS-producing facilities, these findings can be a helpful starting point to ask medical questions or seek testing,” adds Miller.
Legal Resources for Affected Individuals
Legal Claim Assistant provides free legal case evaluations for individuals concerned about the potential effects of environmental exposure, including those who have resided near military bases, airports, or industrial sites where PFAS has been detected.
