A new study finds that children exposed to common industrial chemicals, called perfluorinated compounds or PFCs, have a reduced immune response to vaccines intended to protect them from disease. PFCs are used around the world to make waterproof rain gear and food containers, and are known to pollute drinking water and seafood. VOA's Vidushi Sinha reports PFC contamination could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of global immunization efforts.
