Some recent discoveries are likely new current-use alternatives under large-scale production today despite ongoing scrutiny of their high potential for global distribution and health risks.
“Among such recent contaminant discoveries, some are PFAA-precursors (e.g.perfluorooctaneamido quaternary ammonium salt [32]) that could contribute to environmental PFAA exposure for years to come [45], some are legacy substances likely present in the environment for more than 40 years already (e.g.chlorinated perfluoroether sulfonates [42]), while others are likely new current-use alternatives (e.”

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.
