PFAS Tested for Selective DA Neurotoxicity

PFAS Exposure Level Range Tested for Neurodegeneration (ppm) Threshold for DA Neurodegeneration Threshold for Non-DA Neurodegeneration Selective Neurodegeneration (Yes/No)
PFOA 25–200 Not found Not tested Not detected at tested exposure levels
PFOS 25–200 25 100 Yes
GenX 25–200 200 Not tested Yes

Numerous PFAS were evaluated for evidence of neurodegeneration. Selective DA neurodegeneration was identified where the threshold (lowest does) to induce statistically significant DA neurodegeneration was lower than that to induce non-DA neurodegeneration (significant effects on GABA, 5-HT, or ACh neurons)—lowest exposure level to affect one of these populations is reported. ND = not detectable.
