A review of human exposure to PFAS: substantial contribution from seafood
Science
30 Nov 1925 | Environ Health Prev Med
In Japan, rivers contaminated by industrial PFAS discharges have led to high levels of long-chain PFAS in seafood such as cod, clams, and shrimp, and because seafood is a dietary staple, this pathway now accounts for the majority of human PFAS intake and explains the higher blood concentrations observed in the Japanese population compared to other countries.
