How Well Do Product Labels Indicate the Presence of PFAS in Consumer Items Used by Children and Adolescents?

Quoted values stay tied to the cited study. Empty sections are gaps.

Summary

Total F (PIGE) and targeted LC-MS/MS PFAS in childrens and adolescents consumer products incl. bedding, upholstery, clothing, car seat and furniture items

Key numbers

Values read from the source tables and checked against the cited page. Shown as printed, without conversion. Selected records, not an exhaustive transcription. 2 values were held for review.

Evidence Fitness

Primary measurement in childrens products, targeted LC-MS/MS plus PIGE

Methods (brief)

See the methods section of the source PDF. Measured samples do not represent every product on the market.

Limitations

Values are reported by the authors for their own samples. Censored results and detection limits are as defined in the source. No unit conversions were made.
