Exposure to per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, is associated with a wide range of toxicity concerns, although there is often a lack of consensus on the associated health effects—particularly for low-level exposures. Defense Health Agency-Public Health toxicologists are working with Veterans Health Administration experts to leverage ongoing PFAS screening for Department of Defense firefighters to assess the efficacy of dried blood spots as a measure of exposure. The study team will quantify PFAS concentrations in matched dried blood spots and blood samples to determine the degree of correlation between these two samples.
