Perfluorinated compounds: occurrence and risk profile.

摘要: Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) such as perfluoro-octane sulphonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are emerging environmental pollutants, arising mainly from their use surface treatment chemicals, polymerization aids surfactants. They ubiquitous, persistent bioaccumulative in the environment. being proposed a new class of POPs. Although tests rodents have demonstrated numerous negative effects PFCs, it is unclear if exposure to perfluorinated may affect human health. This review provides an overview recent toxicology toxicokinetics, monitoring data now available for environment, wildlife, humans attempts explain mechanisms action PFCs.
