Other Adverse Effects:
Environmental: PFOS is persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic to mammalian species… Its persistence, presence in the environment and bioaccumulation potential indicate cause for concern. It appears to be of low to moderate toxicity to aquatic organisms but there is evidence of high acute toxicity to honey bees. |
