TL;DR: Prevalence of short-chain PFAS indicates that the effects of PFOA and PFOS substitution are visible in environmental samples from India, and daily PFAS exposure intakes through drinking water were below safety thresholds for oral non-cancer risk in all age groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environment and human exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in India: A systematic review of recent and historical data
TL;DR: It can be concluded that the Indian environment and human population are highly contaminated by DDTs and HCHs; however scarcity of data on other POPs makes it challenging to assess their nationwide human and environmental exposure.
