higher levels of PFOA in a person's body were associated with higher cholesterol, changes to liver function, reduced immune response, thyroid disease, and increased kidney and testicular cancer.
Of course if you were locked in a room full of it it's not going to be healthy but you can breathe in at least one breath

yeah. there is actually something pretty cool called liquid breathing and is where oxygen rich liquids like perfluorocarbons and is used for extreme diver when they get down really deep
A fluorocarbon called perfluorohexane has both enough oxygen and carbon dioxide with enough space between the molecules that animals submerged in the liquid can still breath normally. This unique property may be applied to medical applications like liquid ventilation, drug delivery or blood substitutes.
