Extractable organofluorine (EOF) and target PFAS, including trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), in human serum from a Norwegian cohort, with a case study on the impact of fluorinated pharmaceuticals
Science
26 Apr 2026 | Environ. Int.
Current PFAS measurements may miss a substantial share of human exposure, as up to about half or more of fluorinated compounds in blood remain unidentified, with TFA often the most abundant detected PFAS and additional contributions from sources like fluorinated pharmaceuticals increasing overall body burden.

The report concludes that it currently is infeasible to develop a class-wide PFAS drinking water standard, but it leaves the door open for that circumstance changing. It also mentions California’s efforts to develop a broad spectrum analytical approach for PFAS and a treatment-based regulation for the entire class of PFAS.
