Estimating Consumer Exposure to PFOS and PFOA
Risk Analysis, 2008Perfluorinated compounds have been used for more than 50 years as process aids, surfactants, and for surface protection. This study is a comprehensive assessment of consumer exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from a variety of environmental and product‐related sources. To identify relevant pathways leading to

Commentary: Understanding IARC's PFOA and PFOS carcinogenicity assessments
Regulatory Toxicology and PharmacologyIn November 2023, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified PFOA as "carcinogenic to humans" (Group 1) and PFOS as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2B). We evaluated these classifications, considering the epidemiology, experimental animal, and mechanistic evidence. It is our opinion that the IARC Working Group overstated
