Toxicological study on perfluoroalkyl acids

Perfluoroalkyl acids(PFAAs) are an emerging persistent organic pollutant. With the wide application in industrial and general products, these compounds have been detected in the environmental matris and human population. The concerns about the effects of PFAAs on environment and health have been generated. This review summarizes the characteristics, source, toxicokinetics, toxic effects of PFAAs and related mechanisms for further understanding PFAAs progress in toxicology.
