Exploring dog saliva as a non-invasive alternative to blood sampling for chemical exposome studies: analysis of synthetic phenolic antioxidants and PFAS
This study confirmed that SPAs and PFAS can be found in the saliva of dogs. The levels of PFAS in dog's serum were similar to those generally reported in human blood. Furthermore, this study confirms that dogs are exposed to SPAs at concerningly high levels, given the limited knowledge regarding their toxicity.
