Dietary Habits Related to Food Packaging and Population Exposure to PFASs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are common industrial and consumer product chemicals with widespread human exposures that have been linked to adverse health effects. PFASs are commonly detected in foods and food-contact materials (FCMs), including fast food packaging and microwave popcorn bags.

Objectives
