This review describes the sources, fate, and transport of perfluorocarboxylates (PFCAs) in
the environment, with a specific focus on perfluorooctanoate (PFO). The global historical …

BACKGROUND This biennial review covers developments in water analysis for emerging
environmental contaminants over the period of 2007-2008. A few significant references that …

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) can currently be detected in many environmental media
and biota, as well as in humans. Because of their persistence and their potential to …
