Diet, lifestyle, and sociodemographic influences on serum concentration of PFASs: Insights from human biomonitoring in Switzerland.
Science
17 Apr 2026 | Environ Int
Human biomonitoring in Swiss adults suggests PFAS in the body are largely driven by older, persistent compounds and tend to increase with age and in males, while higher levels are linked to exposures like local freshwater fish consumption and certain product uses, indicating that multiple, compound-specific pathways contribute to overall PFAS burden.
