Does PFOS and PFOA Pose A Risk To My Health?

The results are in, which begs the question:
Do PFOS and PFOA pose a risk to my health and wellbeing?
As members should be aware, last year Airservices engaged the University of Queensland to conduct a study to evaluate workplace exposure to perfluoroalkyl acids (PFOS, PFHxS & PFOA). If you chose to participate in the study you most likely would have received your results over the last week or so. A brief summary of the results are listed below:
 “Higher levels of PFOS and PFHxS were found in the serum of ARFF staff compared to the general Australian and US population.
 Higher levels of PFOS and PFHxS were found in those who had been employed in jobs with foam contact for a longer period of time”.
(The University of Queensland, 2014)
