Average concentrations of select perfluoroalkyl substances in Canadians aged 3 to 79, by sex, Canadian Health Measures Survey, Cycle 5 (2016 and 2017)
Note(s):
Concentrations presented as a geometric mean. Perfluoroalkyl substances were measured in blood. Results are rounded to two significant digits. All results are displayed with the same number of decimal places and, therefore, some results have additional trailing zeros, which implies a greater level of precision.
