PFAS and Wildlife: Bioaccumulation in Deer, Birds, and Fish

PFAS contamination affects wildlife across the U.S.; Legal Claim Assistant highlights ecological and legal concerns.

MIAMI, FLORIDA, FL, UNITED STATES, June 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often termed "forever chemicals," have been detected in various wildlife species across the United States, raising concerns about ecological health and potential human exposure through hunting and fishing. Legal Claim Assistant emphasizes the importance of understanding PFAS bioaccumulation in wildlife and its implications for both ecosystems and communities.

Widespread Detection in Wildlife

Recent studies have identified PFAS compounds in the tissues of fish, birds, and mammals. For instance, research in Michigan's Clark's Marsh area revealed elevated PFAS levels in deer, leading to advisories against consuming deer meat from the region. Similarly, fish consumption advisories have been issued in multiple states due to PFAS contamination in freshwater bodies. (epa.gov)

PFAS exposure has been associated with various health issues, including immune system suppression and developmental problems.
