Perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) is a fluorinated carboxylic acid derivative of hexanoic acid. Fluorinated polymers with six carbon or less commonly degrade into perfluorohexanoic acid.[3]
Perfluorohexanoic acid has been found to rapidly bioaccumulate.[3]
In 2020 Michigan adopted drinking water standards for 5 previously unregulated PFAS compounds including PFHxA which has a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 400 parts per billion (ppb).[4][5]
