Aging and washing of fabrics with durable water-repellant coatings made with PFAS release PFAS to the environment, while tumble drying does not affect the PFAS concentrations in textiles. April 19, 2022 | Environmental Science & Technology
The emission of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from functional textiles was investigated via an outdoor weathering experiment. February 28, 2022 | Environmental Science & Technology
The report presents a revised, broadly inclusive PFAS definition: “PFASs are defined as fluorinated substances that contain at least one fully fluorinated methyl or methylene carbon atom (without any H/Cl/Br/I atom attached to it), i.e., with a few noted exceptions, any chemical with at least a perfluorinated methyl group (−CF3) or a perfluorinated methylene group…
