Eine neue Studie zeigt, dass die Exposition gegenüber zwei spezifischen „ewigen Chemikalien“ die biologische Alterung beschleunigen kann, insbesondere bei Männern mittleren Alters. Forscher entdeckten einen Zusammenhang zwischen schnellerem epigenetischem Altern und zwei dieser Alternativen, PFNA und PFOSA, einem Vorläufer von PFOA.

>A new [study](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/aging/articles/10.3389/fragi.2025.1722675/full) shows that exposure to two specific ‚forever chemicals‘ may accelerate biological aging, especially in middle-aged men.
>These chemicals – PFNA (perfluorononanoic acid) and PFOSA (perfluorooctanesulfonamide) – are just two of the thousands of ‚forever chemicals‘, or to use the more technical term, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).
>Used widely since the 1940s and 1950s, PFAS are found in raincoats, upholstery, non-stick pans, food packaging, firefighting foams, and much more.
>This vast range of synthetic substances was specifically designed to be durable. They protect surfaces from water, fire, and grease, and can resist heat and corrosion.
>But this quest for durability, we’re finding, may have been a little too successful: The sturdy carbon-fluorine backbone common to all PFAS means they’re expected to take up to a thousand years to break down.
>That’s a problem, because scientists are repeatedly linking PFAS to adverse health outcomes for humans who are exposed to them (which is, most likely, all of us).
Forget about finding intelligent life on other planets, we have already destroyed it on this one.
