Fatty acids, linseed-oil, γ-ω-perfluoro-C8-14-alkyl esters

Used as a stain/grease‑repellent for textiles, leather, paper/food packaging, stone/wood sealers, and paints; this mixture can break down to long‑chain perfluoroalkyl acids (C8–C14) [1][2].

Contact with treated products and household dust; eating food from grease‑resistant wrappers; drinking contaminated water; workplace use of fluorinated coatings [1][2].

PFAS are very persistent; long‑chain PFAS are bioaccumulative. Health effects seen with related PFAS include higher cholesterol, liver changes, reduced vaccine antibody response, and some cancers (e.g., PFOA) [1][3][4].

Workers in textile, paper‑coating, painting/sealing jobs; people near PFAS manufacturing or contaminated water; pregnant people and infants [1][2][3].

Choose PFAS‑free or stain‑resistant‑free goods; limit grease‑resistant food packaging; clean dust with wet methods; at work, use ventilation and PPE; check water reports and consider activated carbon or reverse osmosis filters [1][2][5].
