Government reports link PFAS exposure to immune changes—Legal Claim Assistant shares legal and informational resources for affected communities.
These findings contribute to a growing body of evidence prompting continued investigation into PFAS-related health risks in affected communities across the United States.
“Recent research highlights the importance of continued immune health monitoring in PFAS-exposed populations,” says Sarah Miller, Legal Assistant at Legal Claim Assistant.
Government and Peer-Reviewed Sources Report Immune Concerns
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), certain PFAS compounds have demonstrated "suggestive evidence of immunotoxicity." The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has also evaluated this potential risk in animal and human studies.

Research cited by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) notes that PFAS exposure may be associated with:
- Lower antibody responses to vaccines
- Changes in immune cell activity
- Increased susceptibility to infectious diseases

- Vulnerable Populations and Observational Findings
A review published in Toxicological Sciences (2016) examined data linking PFAS exposure to altered immune responses in children, including reduced vaccine efficacy for diphtheria and tetanus.
While more research is needed to establish clear causal relationships, these observations have led to recommendations for further monitoring, particularly in high-exposure areas such as communities near military bases or industrial facilities.
“These associations have prompted broader public health surveillance in areas where PFAS exposure has been confirmed,” adds Miller.
