• Prevalence and Predictors of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Serum Levels among Members of a Suburban US Volunteer Fire Department. (Graber et al., 2021)

  This study looked at PFAS chemicals in volunteer firefighters from one suburban fire department in New Jersey. The researchers found that serum levels of 2 of the 8 PFAS measured (PFNA  and PFDA) were on average somewhat higher among volunteer firefighters compared to the US population. PFDA, as well as PFDoA were positively associated with years of firefighting.  These results suggest that volunteer firefighters may have a different serum profile and levels of PFAS than the general population. Future work should include volunteer firefighters from other geographic locations and assess sources of PFAS exposure.
