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 ...

Are perfluorooctane sulfonate alternatives safer? New insights from a birth cohort study
Environment International, 2020 Background: Experimental studies show that chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonic acids (Cl-PFESA 6:2 and 8:2), one of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) used as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) alternatives, are reproductive toxicants in vivo and in ...
