Model Predicts PFAS Buildup in Wild Animals

Researchers funded by the NIEHS SRP developed a model that predicts how PFAS move and build up within food webs. The model lays the groundwork for screening the thousands of PFAS compounds that could potentially pose a risk for ecological or human health. PFAS are synthetic chemicals used in consumer products that are ubiquitous on the planet and in some cases harmful to humans and wildlife.
