Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), α-hydro-ω-hydroxy-, ether with α-fluoro-ω-(2-hydroxyethyl)poly(difluoromethylene) (1:1)

Made for stain-, water-, and oil-resistant performance in paints, floor finishes, metal plating, textiles, and some firefighting foams; released during manufacture, use, and disposal [2].

Drinking water near contaminated sites, indoor dust, consumer products treated with PFAS, and workplace air or skin contact in PFAS-related jobs [1][2].

Data on this specific chemical are limited, but PFAS exposure has been linked to immune effects, higher cholesterol, liver and developmental changes, and certain cancers (e.g., PFOA) [1][3][4].

People in areas with PFAS-contaminated water, workers in plating, coatings, or foam, and pregnant people, infants, and children [1][2].

Check local water reports; use certified filters (activated carbon or reverse osmosis); reduce PFAS-treated products; follow fish advisories; wet-dust and vacuum with HEPA; follow workplace protections [1][2][5].
