Perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHXS)
EWG guideline1 ppt
ppt = Parts per thousdan
Perfluorohexane sulfonate is a member of a group of perfluorinated chemicals used in many consumer products. Perfluorinated chemicals can cause serious health effects, including cancer, endocrine disruption, accelerated puberty, liver and immune system damage, and thyroid changes. These chemicals are persistent in the environment and they accumulate in people.

You should know
Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOs) are manufactured chemicals in various everyday products. Though PFOs are a type of PFA, they are both known as "forever chemicals" because the time it takes for them to break down in the environment is very, very long. PFAs can make their way into the human body through contaminated water sources and food, leeching through packaging and products like cookware and waterproof clothing.

When people have high levels of PFAs in their bodies, they are susceptible to kidney, breast, and testicular cancers. Plus, PFAs have been linked to immune and cardiovascular system damage, thyroid disease, higher cholesterol levels, low birth weight, developmental issues, endocrine disruption, and fertility issues.

Health guidelines

EWG guideline1 ppt
The health guideline of 1 ppt for perfluorohexane sulfonate was defined by EWG based on studies by Phillipe Grandjean of Harvard University and many other independent researchers who found reduced effectiveness of vaccines and adverse impacts on mammary gland development from exposure to PFOA and PFOS, the two PFAS most widely detected in drinking water. This health guideline applies to the entire class of PFAS detected in water.
