6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonamide alkylbetaine (6:2 FTAB), a novel perfluorooctane sulfonate alternative, induced developmental toxicity in zebrafish embryos

6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonamide alkylbetaine (6:2 FTAB) is a major component of Forafac ® 1157, a novel perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) alternative used globally in aqueous film forming foams (AFFFs). Although 6:2 FTAB has been recently detected in the aquatic environment, its toxic effects on aqu…
