    If you live in these areas remember that becoming a plasma or blood donor might help lower the PFAS levels in your blood.

    More study is needed but a study on firefighters who are professionally exposed to them showed that it seems to be a significant decrease.

    "Plasma and blood donations caused greater reductions in serum PFAS levels than observation alone over a 12-month period. Further research is needed to evaluate the clinical implications of these findings. "

    Like stated this isn’t conclusive but donating blood or plasma is not normally harmful to you and extremely helpful for society. So please consider donating.
