#PFASs and their precursors are found in a wide array of consumer products: food packaging & contact materials & migrate into food during typical use & preparation. PFASs are in indoor environments, where they are released to air and dust from
Consistent differences in PFAS exposures by race. Differences between non-Hispanic whites and blacks vary by chemical, with whites having higher levels of PFOA and blacks having higher levels of perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) and, to a lesser extent, PFOS.
Exposure to PFASs perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) & perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) has been linked to kidney & testicular cancer, decreased semen quality, & ulcerative colitis in adults, & to thyroid disease, immune response, and lowered
Flossing with Oral-B Glide, having stain-resistant carpet or furniture, and living in a city served by a PFAS-contaminated water supply were also associated with higher levels of some PFASs. #FlossPFASs
In African Americans, but not others, frequent consumption of prepared food in coated cardboard containers was associated with higher levels of four #PFASs.
