A FRAMEWORK FOR ASSESSING BIOACCUMULATION AND EXPOSURE RISKS OF PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES IN THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES ON AQUEOUS FILM FORMING FOAM (AFFF)-IMPACTED SITES
Gobas, F. SERDP Project ER18-1502, 17 pp, 2020
The study involved providing a comprehensive literature review of physical-chemical properties, bioaccumulation metrics, and environmental concentrations; developing a risk assessment framework for assessing PFAS bioaccumulation and exposure risks in T&E species at AFFF-impacted DoD sites; and applying the proposed framework to several DoD sites where existing PFAS monitoring data are available. The results will help guide future research efforts and risk assessment initiatives related to exposure of legacy PFASs in T&E species at AFFF-impacted DoD sites. https://www.serdp-estcp.org/content/download/51374/505510/file/ER18-1502%20Executive%20Summary.pdf
