Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) standards available

Toxicological studies have shown that exposure to PFOAs (perfluorooctanoic acid) can result in developmental/reproductive toxicity, liver toxicity, and possibly lung cancer

PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) and its derivatives result from the thermal and biological decomposition of fluoropolymers.

Recent studies by the EPA have indicated the potential need for concern and the necessity for additional analytical testing and monitoring.

PFOAs have been determined to bioaccumulate and are highly persistent.

Continued testing has shown that this class of compounds is widely distributed in the environment.

Toxicological studies have shown that exposure to PFOAs can result in developmental/reproductive toxicity, liver toxicity, and possibly lung cancer.

This has resulted in the EPA's indicating the potential need for concern and the necessity for additional analytical testing and monitoring.

AccuStandard has developed a line of reference standards to aid in this research.
