BACKGROUND: Many poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent and have long half-lives in the human body. However, there are limited data on the different routes of elimination. Most pharmacokinetic models assume that the urinary route dominates.OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to investigate the relative importance of fecal and urinary elimination for linear perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (L-P
