The two datasets indicate that an individual's consumption of freshwater fish is potentially a significant source of exposure to perfluorinated compounds. The median level of total targeted PFAS in fish fillets from rivers and streams across the United States was 9,500 ng/kg, with a median level of 11,800 ng/kg in the Great Lakes. PFOS was the largest contributor to total PFAS levels, averaging 74% of the total.
\u201cOur new paper on high PFAS levels in freshwater fish across the U.S. \n\nshould be a bigger part of the national conversation on PFAS exposure \n\nlevels hundreds of times over those in FDA fish sampling\n\nrelease:\nhttps://t.co/OPBGm9rYI8\n\npaper:\nhttps://t.
He also recognized that with the industrial phaseout of PFOS production, the pollution"levels in rivers and streams do seem to be decreasing, which is important."
