FPF Dossier: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)

, 2016
The dossier covers the chemistry, application, regulation, exposure, and health effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. PFASs are widely used as surfactants, polymers, coatings, and additives in food contact materials (FCMs) as well as in many other applications. They are applied in FCMs to improve e.g.
