Impact Description | A field study in Australia observed low concentrations of two PFASs, perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorohexane sulfonate, in the yabby (Cherax destructor). The presence of these pollutants in the edible tissues of the yabby suggest this species may bioaccumulate and transfer PFASs up the food web. |
