A recent study shows that those who were exposed to higher amounts of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAA)—a type of synthetic chemical—during in vitro fertilization (IVF) had poorer embryo quality than those who had lower amounts of exposure. This means that exposure to these chemicals may lower IVF success rates.

Black Public Health Heroes
At the University at Albany School of Public Health, we recognize that black men and women have contributed and continue to contribute significantly to improving health on a local, national and international level. As you work towards anti-racism, we encourage you to reflect on how racism has influenced health disparities, to seek out knowledge on how you can reduce bias in the work that you do, and to learn more about the sacrifices and hard work of black public health practitioners, both throughout history and today.
