ATSDR Issues Perfluoroalkyls Profile for Renewed Public Comment

Citing a “plethora of new data” published since issuing its toxicological
profile for perfluoroalkyls in 2009, the Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) has reissued the profile seeking additional
information about the alleged health effects of exposure to the synthetic
chemicals. PFOA and PFOS are the two perfluoroalkyls produced in the
largest amounts in the United States and are used in coatings for paper
and cardboard packaging to repel oil, grease and water. Comments are
due by December 1, 2015. See Federal Register, September 2, 2015.
