New research from URI STEEP Superfund suggests that rat liver tissue is a suitable surrogate for predicting the distribution of PFAS in various human tissues – including the kidney, brain, lung, and heart. doi.org/10.1021/acs.es…

Did you catch us at Science Saturday?! STEEP was there sharing tips for reducing personal exposure to PFAS. We also showcased our new AR kitchen, an interactive experience which can help the general public understand what items in their kitchen may contribute to PFAS exposure!
