The phospholipid membrane-water partition coefficients () and equilibrium binding affinities for human serum albumin (HSA) of 60 structurally diverse perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were evaluated through laboratory measurements and modeling to enhance our understanding of PFAS distribution in organisms. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids exhibited a 0.36 ± 0.
