New project - Identification and toxicological assessment of PFAS in indoor air

FoBiG is working on a new project on behalf of the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA). In the EU, major efforts are currently underway to regulate PFAS more to mitigate long-term effects on health and the environment. Currently it is not possible to assess potential exposure to PFAS via indoor air, as no guidance values for indoor air have yet been derived. Furthermore, health-based assessment values (so-called LCI values, LCI: lowest concentration of interest) for the evaluation of possible PFAS emissions from building products are also still lacking. The aim of the project is therefore to identify and evaluate relevant PFAS released into the gas phase of indoor air by means of a literature search.
