After estimating PFAS emission rates generated from the process, researchers concluded that significantly higher levels of PFAS were present during floor waxing."The study was led by Jiaqi Zhou, PhD, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at the UNC-Chapel Hill Gillings School of Global Public Health. Collaborators include Karsten Baumann; Naomi Chang; Glenn Morrison; Wanda Bodnar; Zhenfa Zhang; Jason Surratt; and Barbara J. Turpin — all with the Gillings School — and Joanna M. Atkin, with UNC’s Department of Chemistry."PFAS are human-produced chemicals commonly used in industry and consumer products. Most PFAS do not break down over time, so they remain in the environment and in the bodies of exposed human and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/animals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#animals</a> long after initial use. Scientific studies have shown that exposure to PFAS may be linked to harmful health effects, which was the impetus for this study."Published in Atmospheric Environment, the paper reports that floor waxing floor waxing workers could have increased occupational health risks due to PFAS exposures.“Assessment of occupational exposure due to floor maintenance is important because PFAS exposures can lead to increased risk of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cancer</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immunotoxicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#immunotoxicity</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/neurodevelopmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neurodevelopmental</a> problems, the co-authors write."Read more: <a href="https://sph.unc.edu/sph-news/floor-waxing-could-be-an-important-source-of-pfas-contamination-with-increased-occupational-health-risks-for-workers/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://sph.unc.edu/sph-news/floor-waxing-could-be-an-important-source-of-pfas-contamination-with-increased-occupational-health-risks-for-workers/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PFASPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PFASPollution</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalPollution</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CleaningProducts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CleaningProducts</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FloorWax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FloorWax</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalPollution</a>
