Occupational exposure to PFAS: Research and protection needed

Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used in a variety of consumer and industrial applications. PFAS are associated with numerous detrimental health effects, but workplace exposure to PFAS has only been studied in a small number of occupations. More research is needed to fully understand how workers may be exposed to PFAS and what health effects this may cause.
