Thyroid function and perchlorate in drinking water: an evaluation among California newborns, 1998.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Perfluoroalkyl acids are persistent compounds used in various industrial -applications. Of these compounds, perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) is currently detected in humans worldwide. A recent study on low-dose developmental exposure to PFOA in mice reported increased weight and elevated biomarkers of adiposity in ...
