Chemical Insights Research Institute’s extensive research will explore PFAS exposure from the use of everyday consumer and occupational wearables. Specific goals of this study include:

• Development of analytical methods for characterizing the presence and levels of PFAS in performance textiles used to manufacture consumer and occupational wearables.
• Evaluation of inhalation, ingestion, and dermal human exposure potentials for PFAS during the use of consumer and occupational wearables containing PFAS.

Our Technical Brief, “A Strategic Research Initiative on the Impact of Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) on Human Health,” details information on this research.
