PERFLUORINATED CHEMICALS (PFCS): PERFLUOROOCTANOIC ACID (PFOA) & PERFLUOROOCTANE SULFONATE (PFOS): INFORMATION PAPER
Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials (ASTSWMO), Federal Facilities Research Center, Remediation and Reuse Focus Group, 68 pp, 2015
Although many chemicals fall into the generic family of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), this paper focuses on PFOA and PFOS, the two PFCs most commonly researched and most prevalent in the environment. This document introduces information and resources specific to PFCs and their persistence in the environment; summarizes policy and program decisions implemented at federal facilities and other cleanup sites within the United States; and presents a case study of PFAS contamination at the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base. http://www.astswmo.org/Files/Policies_and_Publications/Federal_Facilities/2015-08-ASTSWMO-PFCs-IssuePaper-Final.pdf
