Visit the New Tox Town Page on Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA)

Posted by on July 11th, 2016 Posted in: Consumer Health, General (All Entries), Public Health

PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) is a man-made chemical that is toxic and persistent in the environment. It is used to make products resistant to heat and to repel oil, grease, stains, and water. Wondering how you might be exposed to PFOA or how it might affect your health? For answers to these questions and more, visit the Tox Town page on Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA). The page is also available in Spanish.
