Exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances during fetal life and hospitalization for infectious disease in childhood: A study among 1,503 children from the Odense Child Cohort

ByPFAS Primer Team

Study found an association between PFOS and the overall risk of infectious disease, and between PFOS and PFOA exposures and the risk of lower respiratory tract infections. January 25, 2021 | Environment International

Occurrence and toxicity of perfluoroalkyl acids along the estuarine and coastal regions under varied environmental factors

ByPFAS Primer Team

This study compiled the data on the levels of PFAAs in environmental samples, mainly in estuarine and coastal zones. A worldwide map was generated to show the distribution of PFAAs along with variety of environmental factors. January 9, 2021 | Science of the Total Environment
