Poly(difluoromethylene), α-fluoro-ω-(2-hydroxyethyl)-, 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate (3:1)

Manufactured for textiles, paper/food packaging, and industrial coatings; some related polymers can break down into smaller PFAS [1][2].

Drinking water near contaminated sites, indoor dust from treated carpets/upholstery, food contact materials, and certain workplaces [1][2][3].

PFAS exposure is linked to immune effects, higher cholesterol, thyroid and liver changes, pregnancy-related hypertension, and developmental effects; some (e.g., PFOA) cause cancer [1][2][4].

People who are pregnant, fetuses and infants, workers handling PFAS, and communities with PFAS-impacted drinking water or locally caught fish [1][2][3].

Use certified GAC or RO water filters, follow local water/fish advisories, limit stain-resistant sprays and grease-resistant packaging, wet-dust often, and follow workplace protections [2][3][5].
