“In many instances, it is not the approach as much as it is the specific studies and endpoints used and the risk assumptions applied that you have differences between groups,” he said. “The NJDWQI gains its strength by having a diverse group of experts working on a single compound. The...
A possible reason is their exceptionally strong acidity with pKa < 1. Nevertheless, at the best modified ACF material (DeCACF) the sorption coefficients (Kd) for PFOA and perfluorooctylsulfonic acid (PFOS) at environmentally relevant concentrations reach the range of 107 L/kg which is outstanding...

Similar to PFCAs, sources of PFSAs include release during manufacture and use of the PFSAs as well as from the degradation of various precursor substances [6,50]. Commercial scale manufacture of perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride (POSF)-based products began by 3M in the late 1950s with product...
As environmental concerns associated with two particular PFAS compounds (perfluorooctane sulfonic acid [PFOS] and perfluorooctanoic acid [PFOA]) were identified and U.S. EPA issued new regulations regarding use of these compounds, manufacturers have transitioned away from PFOS and PFOA and are using ...
According to the complaint, various manufacturers and sellers created, advertised, and sold aqueous film-forming foam products containing chemicals known as perfluorooctane sulfonic acid, or PFOS, and perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA. NJ files suit against 3M, others for making, selling toxic firefightin...
Why is it Nasty? Aerosols are made to quickly and effectively disperse liquids into the air. If those liquid products contain toxins, the chemicals are vaporized and become easy to inhale. Repeated exposure to toxic aerosols can damage the nervous system or irritate the skin and lungs, depending...

(electric vehicles, the hydrogen economy and, of course, water reuse). In the case of PVDF membranes, it is debatable whether the significant benefits offered by their use are negated by the environmental risk incurred from their end disposal. It is perhaps the management of the latter that ...
Some PFASs, including perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), were added to the Stockholm Convention (Rudin et al., 2023). Chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonate (F-53B) is a substitute for PFOS, and the use of F-...
