Biodegradability of Trifluoroacetic Acid
Abstract
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a product of the atmospheric oxidation of several man-made fluorine-containing organic compounds. The environmental fate of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is poorly understood. There are no known abiotic sinks for TFA, and there is a controversy on its biological fate. To provide insight into the environmental fate of TFA, a long-term (90-week) study was conducted to assess its biodegradability in an engineered anaerobic reactor. Trifluoroacetic acid was found to be cometabolically degradable in an anaerobic environment. Biodegradation is a potential sink for trifluoroacetic acid, and may limit its accumulation in the environment. Key words: trifluoroacetic acid; anaerobic degradation; dehalogenation; co-metabolic degradation; hydrofluorocarbons; hydrochlorofluorocarbons; refrigerant

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.
