Benskin, J.P., Ross, M.S., Beesoon, S., Martin, J.W., Asher, B.J.
The extent to which perfluorooctanesulfonate precursors (PreFOS) play a role in human or environmental exposure to perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is not well characterized. The diversity of manufactured PreFOS and its degradation products (e.g. C8F17SO2R and C8F17SO2NR0R00, where R is H or F,...
