Abstract
The chapters in this book have addressed human and wildlife exposure/body burdens, reviews of metabolism and toxicological effects by organ system/developmental stage, and aspects of PFAS toxicity that are driving PFAS research and regulatory oversight. The intent of arranging this book by these three themes was to emphasize the challenges associated with determining exposure concentrations, the multiple systems and processes that have toxicological responses following exposure to PFASs, and complexities associated with their regulatory oversight. The goal of this brief, concluding chapter is to highlight some of the lingering issues related to PFAS research.
