Fluorotelomer ethoxylates cause developmental toxicity in mice

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances are a ubiquitous class of compounds which are considered persistent organic pollutants. Many of these compounds are unregulated and understudied but are still widely used. One group of these compounds are fluorotelomer ethoxylates, which recently emerged as compounds of interest following their recent detection in the environment. To determine the health impacts of these persistent compounds, healthy pregnant …
