Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a numerous class of chemical compounds characterized by a C-F backbone of variable length with either a sulfonic acid group (PFSA) or a carboxylic acid (PFCA), produced for more than 70 years at industrial level.1 PFOS and PFOA are the predominantly cited molecules of this class. Cur- rently, these compounds are debated both at scientific and political levels due to the risks associated to exposure to legacy (PFOA, PFOS, etc.) and to emerging perfluorinated compounds (HFPO-DA or GenX, ADONA, C6O4), introduced after the banning in the production/ import/use of PFOA and PFOS.2,3 SI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
