The outlined scenarios can be of help to esteem the health benefits resulting from the installation of activate carbon drinking water filtering systems (2013) and to identify situations of possible interest for further actions of environmental,agri-food, dietary and drinking water supply mitigation. A more accurate esteem requires accurate, detailed and updated local exposure data; for example; the robustness and reliability of the measurement of the daily PFOA food intake largely depends on the study design (market basket, duplicate diet), the sampling representativity and the analytic threshold. Finally, the decay curves are critically influenced by the baseline level, the target serum PFOA concentration of interest for human health and the pharmacokinetic model considered: for example, in a recent case study from Sweden, the PFOA half-life is longer.
