More recently, industry has developed and adopted alternative short-chain PFAS chemistries to replace long-chain PFAS. Many short-chain PFAS are structurally similar to their long-chain predecessors being replaced and are manufactured by the same companies. Publicly available health, toxicity, and hazard assessments of short-chain PFAS are limited.
