Novel Research May Lead To PFAS Exposure Standards For Painters

Occupational exposure scientists are building on early data documenting construction painters’ exposure to PFAS with additional research aimed at developing a plan for reducing PFAS exposure and body burden for construction trades. University of Massachusetts researchers Dhimiter and Anila Bello are preparing to launch a three-year study that will result in the development of a “national roadmap” to reduce per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposures among construction painters and allied trades. “Our goal is to bring together all the information...
