Flows, stock, and emissions of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances in California carpet in 2000–2030 under different scenarios

In this study, we present a holistic analysis of the stock and emissions of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in California carpet in 2000-2030. Our high estimate is that, in 2017, the total PFAS accumulated in in-use carpet stock and landfilled carpet are ∼60 and ∼120 tonnes, respective…
