The aim of this study was to determine whether maternal exposure to persistent
perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) affect the capability to breastfeed. In two Faroese birth
cohorts (N= 1130), concentrations of five PFASs were measured in maternal serum during
pregnancy or two weeks after term. Duration of breastfeeding was assessed by
questionnaire and clinical interview. In adjusted linear regression models, a doubling of
maternal serum PFASs was associated with a reduction in duration of both total and�…
