Anyone aware of the possible correlation between this and forever chemicals found in humans increasing? I don’t see it mentioned in the article

If I had to guess I'd think microplastics[1] because we actively consume them and they're found in our tissues and they didn't really exist before the 50s/60s.

But I haven't seen any research showing correlations in real human beings yet.

PFAS are big in media right now but likely not the main cause.
