Title of Collaborative Activity:

Occupational Exposure Assessment of Emerging Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

Description of Collaborative Activity:

The primary objectives of this study are to identify PFAS compounds currently in use in commerce or industry and the companies, industries, and worker populations who are manufacturing, processing, or using PFAS products and to conduct targeted occupational exposure assessments in high- and moderate-PFAS volume industries. Based on the results of the exposure assessment, secondary objectives of this study are to assess health effects associated with PFAS exposure. To meet the objectives of this study, we propose four specific aims.
