Abstract The data provided in the presentation focus on plasma C4- C12 perfluorocarboxylate levels in samples collected in 2006 from donors in six different US locations. Comparisons are made to a similar set of data from samples collected in 2000. Declines were previously noted from 2000 - 2006 for perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluoroooctanoate (PFOA) (see Olsen et al ES&T 2008; 42:4989-4995). In the presentation submitted herein, plasma concentrations for perfluorononanoate (PFNA), perfluorodecanoate (PFDA), and perfluoroundecanoate (PFUnDA), appeared to have increased. Strong correlations were also observed between higher chain lengths and weak correlations were observed between higher and lower chain lengths. Perfluorobutyrate (PFBA) was also measured and appeared to have declined between 2000 and 2006.
