• Global emission inventories for C4-C14 perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acid (PFCA) homologues from 1951 to 2030, Part I: production and emissions from quantifiable sources. (2014, background): “(2006), indirect sources, in particular atmospheric degradation of residuals in POSF- and fluorotelomer-based products, had been postulated to be themajor source of PFCAs in the environment (Ellis et al., 2004).”

(2009, background): “In addition, some precursors like fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOH) will be subsequently transformed into PFOA under environmental degradation processes (Ellis et al., 2004; Dinglasan et al., 2004; Wang et al., 2005).”

(2007, background): “These precursors of PFOA and PFOS can be oxidized by hydroxyl radicals in the atmosphere, thereby providing an explanation for the presence of these anthropogenic chemicals in remote locales (3M Company, 2000; Ellis et al. , 2004; Young et al. , 2007).”
