Review of: "Knowledge of Risk Associated with Exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Abuja, Nigeria v1"

Article scientifique 2024 Anglais

Résumé

of studyThis paper investigates the knowledge and risk of Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Abuja, Nigeria.PFAS are synthetic chemicals that are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to humans and the environment.They are used in various industrial and consumer products, but some are being phased out in developed countries.A survey of 365 randomly selected residents revealed that 91% were unaware of PFAS and their health effects, while 9% had some knowledge.This suggests that PFAS exposure in Abuja may pose a global threat.The paper recommends extensive research and awareness campaigns on PFAS and collaboration with industrialized nations for sustainability. CorrectionsApart from grammatical errors, a few corrections must be made.
