C= carbons; FT=fluorotelomer. Full names for PFAS listed in Table S1. fup = fraction unbound in plasma;

a: PFOS shown as an average of 3 independent values derived for K+ PFOS, PFOS, and PFOS anion. Per and FT comparisons are in bold. PFCAs with at least 11 Cs and that exhibit reduced binding are italicized.
