PFAS contamination in Florida estuarine fishes: Levels, patterns, and estimated human and ecological health risks PFAS contamination in Florida estuarine fishes: Levels, patterns, and estimated human and ecological health risks
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose a significant health threat due to their environmental persistence and toxicity. While PFAS contamination is widespread in Florida, the state currently lacks fish consumption advisories (FCAs) for these compounds, despite existing FCAs for legacy pollutants. This study quantified 40 PFAS in edible muscle tissue from 264 fish (16 species)...
