We don’t know for sure the exact way they cause harm, but the leadibg theory is that they take the place of similar molecules like fatty acids, therefore reducing the available chemicals that you need. Alternatively, they hust end up 8n places they dont need to be and get in the way.

Minute Earth made a good video on the topic I recommend watching that explains what they are and how they work in more detail.
