APPROACH FOR ASSESSING PFAS RISK TO THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Divine, C., J. Zodrow, M. Frenchmeyer, K. Dally, E. Osborn, and P. Anderson.
SERDP Project ER18-1653, 341 pp, 2020
The primary purpose of this evaluation was to develop risk-based screening levels (RBSL) protective of threatened and endangered species that are potentially present at DoD sites. Calculating RBSLs for aquatic life, terrestrial plants, soil invertebrates, and benthic invertebrates requires acute and chronic toxicity data for individual PFAS. Calculating RBSLs for wildlife requires bioaccumulation factors and toxicity values for individual PFAS. Therefore, intermediate objectives of this evaluation include compiling appropriate toxicity and uptake data for individual PFAS and developing media and PFAS-specific bioaccumulation factors and toxicity values for wildlife. https://www.serdp-estcp.org/content/download/51249/504484/file/ER18-1653%20Final%20Report.pdf
