Serum concentrations of PFAS across Australian States and Territories
There was a high degree of consistency in the PFAS serum concentration for a given age/sex among pools from the different States/Territories, particularly for perfluoro carboxylic acids. This suggests that PFAS serum concentrations and associated exposure is relatively consistent across Australia. PFAS concentrations measured in QLD pools were not statistically different from the national average, suggesting that the current Australian HBM program can be considered as a national reference of background PFAS serum concentrations.
