1
PFAS interact uniquely with proteins and phospholipids.
-
2
Traditional risk assessment models for persistent organic pollutants are inadequate for PFAS.
-
3
Research focuses on bioaccumulation and exposure from drinking water.
-
4
Unidentified organofluorine compounds pose analysis challenges.
-
5
Long-term exposure assessment is crucial for evaluating health impacts.
-
6
Advanced analytical techniques, especially high-resolution mass spectrometry, are necessary.
-
7
The transformation of PFAS precursors into persistent compounds complicates risk understanding.
