Alternatives to PFASs: Perspectives on the Science [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2015
Poly- and perfluoroalkyl acids (PFASs) are ubiquitous in our lives. These chemicals are used as surfactants and as water and oil repellents in a variety of consumer products such as cosmetics, food packaging, furnishings, and clothing. Since their initial marketing more than 60 years ago, extensive research has demonstrated that the long-chain PFASs ...

Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in the Canadian Freshwater Environment. [PDF]

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2021
Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are anthropogenic substances that are very stable in the receiving environment. PFASs are persistent and resistant to typical environmental degradation processes and therefore are distributed across all trophic levels and environmental compartments (soil, air, water). Since most uses of PFOS,

PFASs in Finnish Rivers and Fish and the Loading of PFASs to the Baltic Sea

Water, 2019
The concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the Finnish aquatic environment were measured in riverine waters and in inland, coastal and open sea fish. In addition, the PFAS load to the Baltic Sea from 11 rivers was calculated.
