PFOA used as a fluoropolymer manufacturing aid at a fluoropolymer production facility in Parkersburg, WV, from 1951 to 2013 was replaced in 2013 with the PFAS surfactant hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA). In a broad-scale assessment of ongoing impacts from the plant, including dispersal of HFPO-DA, samples collected downwind and upstream from the facility showed PFOA and HFPO-DA had dispersed to surface water and soil in multiple locations as far as 30 miles from the plant.
