Abstract:Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are chemicals with widespread industrial and consumer applications, and firefighters are known to be at risk of elevated PFAS exposure due to their occupational activities. This study aims to assess PFAS exposure and explore potential mechanistic insights through miRNA sequencing of plasma exosomes, in relation to PFAS levels in the general population. The study included 34 firefighter participants. PFAS levels in plasma were analyzed, and miRNA sequencing of plasma e… Show more
