2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, polymer with butyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate, 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-heptadecafluorodecyl 2-propenoate, 2-hydroxyethyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate and methyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate

Treated textiles, carpets, upholstery, leather, paper food packaging, paints, and sealants; manufacturing and application sites. [2]

Indoor dust and air from treated products; contact with treated clothing or furniture; contaminated drinking water near production or waste sites; food contact materials. [1][3]

Some PFAS are linked to higher cholesterol, lower vaccine response, developmental and reproductive effects; PFOA is classified carcinogenic to humans (IARC). The polymer is large but can shed or transform into these PFAS over time. [1][4]

Workers in textile, paper, and coating plants; infants and children (dust, hand-to-mouth); pregnant people; communities near PFAS facilities or contaminated water. [1][3]

Choose PFAS-free or “fluorine-free” products; ventilate and clean dust with a HEPA vacuum or damp cloth; follow local water advisories and use filters certified for PFAS (activated carbon or reverse osmosis); follow local disposal guidance. [2][1][3]
