Global Water Pollution and Human Health (2010, background): “Recent examples of such “emerging POPs” that are under consideration to be added are the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) widely used as flame retardants (41, 42), and a variety of perfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFCs) that, because of their very special properties (43), are used in numerous industr”

Emerging contaminants in surface waters and their relevance for the production of drinking water in Europe (2010, background): “Water appears to be the major reservoir in the environment and an important medium for their transport (Prevedouros et al. 2006).”
Sorption of perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoate on activated carbons and resin: Kinetic and isotherm study. (2009, neutral): “Industrial wastewater has been implicated as a point source for PFOS and PFOA as well as their precursors entering into natural waters (Hansen et al., 2002; Prevedouros et al., 2006).”
PFAS Exposure Pathways for Humans and Wildlife: A Synthesis of Current Knowledge and Key Gaps in Understanding (2020, background): “Generally, aquatic discharges and oceanic transport are more relevant next to source regions in the United States, Europe, and Japan (Prevedouros et al. 2006; Armitage et al. 2009a; Zhang et al. 2017), whereas atmospheric transport is important in remote regions such as the Arctic and Southern…”
Fate and effects of poly‐ and perfluoroalkyl substances in the aquatic environment: A review (2014, neutral): “The economic importance of PFASs is further underpinned by their application in numerous residential, commercial, and industrial applications, such as surfactants in ﬂ uoropolymer production, metal plating, aqueous ﬁ lm-forming foams (AFFFs), paper, textile, and household products [7,10].”
Polyfluoroalkyl Chemicals in the U.S. Population: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–2004 and Comparisons with NHANES 1999–2000 (2007, methodology): “In 2004, the estimated annual production of the ammonium salt of PFNA, primarily used as a processing aid in the manufacture of such fluoropolymers as polyvinylidene fluoride, was 15–75 tonnes (Prevedouros et al. 2006).”
Global emission inventories for C4-C14 perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acid (PFCA) homologues from 1951 to 2030, Part I: production and emissions from quantifiable sources. (2014, methodology): “The ocean inventorywas calculated by multiplying background levels of PFCAs in open ocean surface water (derived from monitoring studies) by the volume of the global ocean surface mixed layer (assuming 100–200 m depth with a median value of 150 m) (Armitage et al., 2009a; Prevedouros et al., 2006).”
