Article Synopsis
- PFASs are synthetic chemicals, with over 4,000 types identified, that have been widely used in various products but pose long-term environmental and health risks due to their persistence.
- Some PFASs, like PFOA and PFOS, have been studied and regulated, but information on many others remains limited.
- A workshop in November 2017 brought together over 50 international experts to address these issues, aiming to improve science-policy collaboration and create a plan for assessing and managing PFASs in the future.

Each worker was measured twice; first while the worker used PPE as normal (baseline measurement), and second after making some adjustments to the PPE (postintervention measurement).
