Abstract

Background

Exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has been linked with various cancers. Assessment of PFAS in drinking water and cancers can help inform biomonitoring and prevention efforts.

Objective

To screen for incident cancer (2016-2021) and assess associations with PFAS contamination in drinking water in the US.
