Table 7.

Summary comparison of developmental impacts in larvae with exposure to a legacy AFFF mixture and PFOS alone.

AFFF (%) PFOS (μM)
2.20×104 4.40×104 16 32
(0.69mg/L PFOS) (1.38mg/L PFOS) (8mg/L) (16mg/L)
Liver length Decrease Decrease
Beta cell islet area Decrease
Beta cell aberrant morphology
Exocrine pancreas length Decrease
Stunted exocrine pancreas morphology Increase NT NT

Note: All AFFF data and PFOS liver data are from the present study. PFOS pancreatic data are summarized from Sant et al. 2017, 2019. —, no effect; AFFF, aqueous film-forming foam; NT, not tested; PFOS, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid.
