Your PFAS score is calculated based on risk factors that you are exposed to. The score is intended purely for guidance, and there are many other factors that may affect your PFAS risk. The specific factors that the score takes into account are:
Many occupations involve increased exposure to PFAS. For example, firefighters, ski waxers, carpet fitters, and automobile workers. All these occupations regularly handle items with high levels of PFAS, or are exposed to PFAS through protective clothing or other routes.
Certain lifestyle choices may result in increased PFAS exposure due to how widely it is used. For example, PFAS is very commonly used in takeout containers to make them water and grease resistant. This results in your food and beverages getting contaminated with PFAS.
Where you live has a huge impact on your PFAS exposure. Firstly, many people have high levels of PFAS in their drinking water at home, making this a major source of exposure. Secondly, if you live near an airport, military base, or superfund site, you can be exposed to higher levels of PFAS.
From your answers, you aren’t exposed to many of the more common sources of PFAS. However, there are many other ways you may be exposed, including in your food, bottled water, cosmetics, and more.
We identified a couple of potential risks for PFAS exposure. And you may well be exposed to additional risks from food packaging, cosmetics, and more.
Your answers suggest that you have a real risk of PFAS exposure in your daily life. This risk may be higher if you also are exposed to PFAS in cosmetics, food packaging, or the food you eat.
Your answers tell us that you have a strong risk of PFAS exposure. You should definitely take steps to reduce your risk. You should also consider getting tested to start monitoring your levels.
From the answers you gave we can see a very high risk of PFAS exposure. Likely this means you are in a high-risk occupation where you may not be able to control your exposure. We recommend you get tested and start monitoring your PFAS levels regularly.
