Impact/Purpose:
The overall goal of this work is to provide support to OPPTS in evaluating potential environmental and human health problems associated with release of PFCs into the environment. Specific research objectives include the following.
o Development and application of a multi-compound method for the collection, extraction, and analysis of PFCs in raw and finished water.
o Development and application of a multi-compound method for the collection, extraction, and analysis of PFCs in soil.
o Development and application of a method for the extraction and analysis of PFCs in human blood serum.
o Development and application of methods to support NHEERL toxicology studies that will inform the risk assessment process.
Description:
Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) which include PFOS and PFOA are widely distributed in wildlife. Whole fish homogenates were analyzed for PFCs from the upper Mississippi, the Missouri and the Ohio rivers. Methods development, validation data, and preliminary study results will be discussed
