     We found that women with higher levels of PFOA had longer menstrual cycles for all three countries combined. There was no statistically significant correlation between menstrual cycle and exposure to PFOS, but there was a tendency for a more irregular menstrual cycle at higher exposure levels of PFOS, says Julie Lyngsø from the Department of Occupational Medicine at Aarhus University Hospital.
