5. Evaluation of selected parameters of Total Oxidisable Precursor Assay on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikAbstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are man-made fluorinated compounds that havebeen detected in humans, the environment, and wildlife. The strong C-F bonds contribute tothe high thermal stability of some PFASs and make them extremely resistant to degradationunder normal environmental conditions. READ MORE
