Labs underway for the PEBBLE Pilot Study! PEBBLE, short for PFAS Exposure and Bone Biology across the Lifespan and Environment, seeks to understand whether exposure to PFAS (“forever chemicals”), which are commonly encountered in firefighting settings, may be associated with changes in bone metabolism and biological aging processes. The team has been out collecting labs of new study participants. More to come! 🫡
