Sci. Technol., 2009, 43 (14), pp 5171–5175 DOI: 10.1021/es900464a Publication Date (Web): June 8, 2009 Copyright © 2009 American Chemical Society - PFOS had been widely used as a stain-repelling surfactant and is/was also present in fire-fighting foams and photolithographic chemicals -. Unfortunately, the very properties that make these chemicals valuable also render some PFCs extremely resistant to environmental and biological breakdown -PFOs seem to be ubitquitous in even rural areas such as the arctic and are persistent in animals -increased offspring death, decrease in body weight, and disruption of neurological systems -many factors such as political and economic debate can be measured but want take further regulation measures
