PFAS Research is Ongoing

 Current scientific research suggests that exposure to sufficient

levels of certain PFAS over many years, may lead to adverse

health effects such as developmental delays, disruption of

hormones in the body, low infant birth weight, adverse effects

on the immune system, among other effects.

 Research about health effects of PFAS is still ongoing and there

is sufficient information to develop a drinking water standard

for PFOA. There is more information on adverse effects of

PFOA in humans and laboratory animals than for many other

contaminants with drinking water standards.
