Toxic 'forever chemicals' linked to a slew of diseases and disorders have been discovered in every baby product sampled in a new study.

The chemicals have been linked to an increased risk of cancer, birth defects, autism and infertility.

Long term exposure can also leave a person at higher risk of kidney, testicular, ovarian, prostate, thyroid and bone marrow cancer when they reach adulthood.

Ms Evans explained that the high levels of PFAS in these products add to the overall exposure in the household, spreading via dust particles that can be inhaled or ingested.

She warns that children in particular are at risk, because they are more likely to put their hands both on the floor and in their mouth — consuming pollutants.
