Abstract

Background

The presence of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHS), and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) has been reported in humans and wildlife. Pharmacokinetic differences have been observed in laboratory animals.

Objective

The purpose of this observational study was to estimate the elimination half-life of PFOS, PFHS, and PFOA from human serum.
