研究显示有害的PFOA化学物质在环境中增加了一倍, 促使对数千种类似的PFAS化学物质进行更广泛的研究. Study reveals harmful PFOA chemical doubles in environment, urging broader research on thousands of similar PFAS chemicals.
新南威尔士州悉尼的研究人员发现,与癌症有关的全氟辛烷磺酰氟化学物质PFOA是一种与癌症有关的全氟辛烷磺酰氟化学物质,随着时间推移,在环境中的浓度增加了一倍,突出表明需要对数千种相关化学品进行更多的研究。 Researchers at UNSW Sydney found that branched PFOA, a cancer-linked PFAS chemical, doubles in concentration in the environment over time, highlighting the need for more research on thousands of related chemicals. 在家用产品和消防泡沫中发现的全氟辛烷磺酰胺不会轻易分解。 PFAS, found in household products and firefighting foam, do not break down easily. 澳大利亚只监测14 000种全氟辛烷磺酸化学品中的三种,而美国则在饮用水方面为全氟辛烷磺酰胺规定了更严格的限值。 Australia monitors only three of the 14,000 PFAS chemicals, while the U.S. has set stricter limits for PFOA in drinking water. 澳大利亚政府正在更新其指导方针和资助研究,以更好地了解健康影响,并制订方法,以打破家庭支助系统。 The Australian government is updating its guidelines and funding research to better understand health impacts and develop methods to break down PFAS.
