| In a recently published study, researchers at Harvard University compared the dust of 12 indoor spaces containing conventional furnishings to 12 similar spaces with “healthier” carpets and furniture (reportedly PFAS-free). Dust is a major route for human exposure to PFAS, especially for children who are closer to the ground and have more hand-to-mouth behavior. |
| Notably, the sum of specific PFAS only accounted for 9% of the total measure, indicating other unidentified PFAS are contributing a large portion of organic fluorine to dust. As we’ve been saying for years, removing all PFAS from products (the class approach) is what is needed. |
