Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in ambient fine particulate matter in the Pearl River Delta, China: Levels, distribution and health implications
Science
25 Jul 2023 | Env Poll
PFAS exposure via inhalation of particulate matter was found to be dominated by low levels of PFSAs and PFCAs, but inhalation exposure is still important due to its long-term and cumulative nature.

Occurrence, partitioning and transport of perfluoroalkyl acids in gas and particles from the southeast coastal and mountainous areas of China
Science
5 Dec 2022 | Environ Sci Pollut Res Int.
The longer the fluorinated carbon chain length of the PFAA, the more the PFAA tended to exist in the particulate phase, and PFAS in China can be widely spread through the atmosphere due to winter monsoon winds.
