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.
NOTE:
•
Exposure to PFOS is ubiquitous, found in human and wildlife
tissues around the world.
•
PFOS is remarkably persistent. For example, PFOS does not
show the slightest sign of degradation when boiled in nitric
acid for an hour.
