Perfluoroalkylated substances: PFOA, PFOS and PFOSA

Evaluation of health hazards and proposal of a health-based quality criterion for drinking water, soil and ground water

Additional PFAS substances have furthermore been selected for a preliminary screening in relation to toxicity in order to assess the possibilities for derivation of specific quality criteria for the substances.
