Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment Cot Statement on the Tolerable Daily Intake for Perfluorooctanoic Acid
ثبت نشده
چکیده
3. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its salts are fully fluorinated organic compounds produced synthetically or through degradation of some PFOS-related substances 3 and fluorotelomer alcohols . PFOA is primarily used as an emulsifier in industrial applications, for example in the production of fluoropolymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PFOA may also be found at low levels in some fluorotelomers, as an unintended by-product of the manufacturing process. Fluorotelomer derivatives are ingredients of fire-fighting foams and coatings, and are intermediates in the manufacture of stain-, oil-, and water-resistant additives for some textiles, coatings and food contact papers.
