PFAS – Challenges and scientific perspectives in human health risk assessment: International conference
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a highly polar, water-soluble, and persistent compound belonging to the group of per-and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS).It is formed among other pathways, as a degradation product of fluorinated chemicals used in pesticides, refrigerants, propellants, and fluoropolymers, and is increasingly recognized as a ubiquitous environmental contaminant.Due to its high mobility, TFA is widely distributed via the water cycle, enters soils and plants, and thus the food chain.
