PreciseInhale delivers high precision and novel results in new study on inhaled household pollutant in Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research
(Stockholm 29 June 2022) A new paper in the Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research explores the effects of inhaling, vs ingesting, PFOA (perfluoro-octanic acid), in house dust. PFOA is a common toxicant found in industries and households worldwide. In the study, carried out at the Institute of Environmental Medicine at Karolinska Institute, PreciseInhale achieved a standard deviation of 10-15% and demonstrated that PFOA concentration was four times higher via inhalation than ingestion – a novel result not previously published.Perfluoro-octanic acid (PFOA) is an industrial
