Albumin Proteins as Delivery Vehicles for PFAS Contaminants into Respiratory Membranes.

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of chemicals that have been used in a wide range of commercial products. While their use is declining, the prevalence of PFAS, combined with their chemical longevity, ensures that detectable levels will remain in the environment for years to come. As such, there is a pressing need to understand how PFAS contaminants interact with other elements of the human exposome and the consequences of these interactions for human health.
