This is a first thorough environmental assessment of PFPAs and PFPiAs.
PFPAs likely have high persistence and long-range transport potential.
PFPiAs may transform to PFPAs and possibly PFCAs in the environment and biota.
PFPAs/PFPiAs have similar environmental and human exposure routes to other PFAAs.
Simultaneous exposure to PFPAs/PFPiAs and other PFAAs may cause additive effects.
