Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Exposure Risks in US Carceral Facilities
Science
15 Mar 2024 | AJPH
To evaluate the risk of exposure to PFAS among the US incarcerated population, this study analyzed the geographic proximity of carceral facilities to known or likely PFAS contamination sites, finding that 5% of facilities are located within the same watershed boundaries as PFAS contamination sources, with implications for health inequities and the need for environmental monitoring in prisons.
