Abstract in Danish:
Perfluoroctanesulphonate (PFOS) and related substances are used in several industrial and consumer products due to their ability to repel both water and oil. PFOA are found as an impurity. The substances are very persistent and found widespread in the environment. Perfluorinated substances have negative effects on a.o. the liver and can have endocrine disrupting effects. The use of PFOS and PFOA and related
