Article Synopsis
- PFOA is prevalent in human blood, making it difficult to assess associated health risks using standard exposure guidance values (EGVs), which typically refer to external doses.
- The study aimed to derive biomonitoring equivalents (BEs) for PFOA in blood that match non-cancer EGVs from various health agencies and compare these BEs with national biomonitoring data.
- Results showed varying non-cancer BEs, with some blood concentration levels from recent surveys close to or exceeding these BEs, indicating potential health concerns related to PFOA exposure.
