Short-chain perfluoroalkyl acids: environmental concerns and a regulatory strategy under REACH (2018, background): “Along with the expected increasing emissions, short-chain PFAAs will further enrich in the environment leading to increased background concentration levels, in the long-term especially in the aquatic systems [57].”
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in water and wastewater: A critical review of their global occurrence and distribution (2021, background): “…anuscript of high-performance fluoropolymer materials is being replaced by PFECA and GenX chemicals (DuPontTM, 2010; Buck et al., 2011; B. Wang et al., 2013; X. Wang et al., 2013; Ahrens and Bundschuh, 2014; Newton et al., 2017; USEPA, 2018; Pan et al., 2018; Chen et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2017).”
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the environment (2022, positive): “Overall, evidence suggests that the ultimate global reservoirs of PFAS are oceans and marine sediments (134), emphasizing the importance of elucidating consequences of PFAS contamination in these ecosystems (135).”
