Length-specific occurrence and profile of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in animal protein feeds
19 Mar 2019 | J. Hazard. Mater.
Short-chain PFAS were found to be more prevalent in blood meal, meat meal, soybean meal while long-chain PFAS was found commonly in feather meal. All of which may cause further human exposure through the farm-to-fork pathway.
