Can you please elaborate on the different types of Public Health Agency (PHA) that exist? I'm curious to know the specific categories or instances of PHAs around the world, as well as the roles and responsibilities they typically undertake in ensuring public health and safety. Are there international, national, or local PHAs? And how do they collaborate with each other and other organizations to address health challenges?

Medium-chain length PHAs (mcl-PHAs) have monomer units with a carbon chain length between C6 and C14.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a class of biodegradable polymers that can be categorized based on the number of carbon atoms present in their monomer units.

One such classification divides PHAs into three distinct classes: short-chain length PHAs (scl-PHAs), medium-chain length PHAs (mcl-PHAs), and long-chain length PHAs (lcl-PHAs).

Some examples of mcl-PHAs are P3HHx (poly-3-hydroxyhexanoate) and P3HO (poly-3-hydroxyoctanoate), which possess unique properties that make them suitable for specific applications.

Short-chain length PHAs (scl-PHAs) consist of monomer units with a carbon chain length ranging from C3 to C5.
