Reductive defluorination of aqueous perfluorinated alkyl surfactants : effects of ionic headgroup and chain length [PDF]
, 2009 Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) are distributed throughout the environment. In the case of perfluorinated alkyl carboxylates and sulfonates, they can be classified as persistent organic pollutants since they are resistant to environmentally relevant ...

Neuroendocrine effects of perfluorooctane sulfonate in rats. [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 2003 Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a degradation product of sulfonyl-based fluorochemicals that are used extensively in industrial and household applications. Humans and wildlife are exposed to this class of compounds from several sources. Toxicity tests in rodents have raised concerns about potential developmental, reproductive, and systemic effects ...
