Toxicity assessment of short- and ultra-short PFAS in aquatic invertebrates

This study aimed to evaluate the acute and sub-chronic/chronic toxic effects of emerging short- and ultra-short per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on aquatic invertebrates exposed to various chemical concentrations. The endpoints assessed included immobility, mortality, reproduction, and body size in Daphnia magna, as well as morphological changes and reproduction in Hydra vulgaris. All data and information are subject to a publication containing a detailed survey of current research, data compilation procedures, and conclusions.
