Fluorinated Alkyl Surfactants
Abstract
Fluorinated alkyl substances, which include perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), constitute a diverse class of chemicals that occur in a wide range of products. Concern about the presence of fluorinated alkyl substances in the environment has increased since PFOS and related fluoroalkyl substances were detected in blood plasma of nonoccupationally exposed humans and in animal tissues collected from around the globe, including sparsely populated regions that have no apparent sources. PFOS was also found to exhibit both bioaccumulative and toxic properties. This review focuses on the analysis and occurrence of fluorinated alkyl substances that have been observed in the environment. Although fluorinated alkyl substances were identified and quantified in groundwaters, surface waters, wastewaters, and air samples, little is known about their transport or behavior in the environment. Numerous laboratory and field experiments are still needed to elucidate these processes. Additionally, techniques for efficiently treating wastewaters containing fluorinated alkyl substances must be found to prevent their release into the environment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
