• Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the environment (2022, neutral): “These labile compounds are precursors to recalcitrant, terminal transformation products such as PFCAs and PFSAs.”
• Short-chain perfluoroalkyl acids: environmental concerns and a regulatory strategy under REACH (2018, background): “They do not undergo abiotic or biotic degradation at all under environmental conditions and are considered highly stable transformation products in which several precursors ultimately degrade into [13, 40].”
