摘要
The environmental and safety issues of perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride/perfluorooctane sulfonic acid/ perfluorooctane sulfonates (PFOS) were introduced in detail by summarizing several published reviews, including their production, occurrence and emission in environment, exposure and intake to human being, supervision and emission reduction, long-distance transport, bioaccumulation and excretion, degradation and toxicity. Opinion with respect to safety issues of PFOS was also proposed in view of surfactant working field in order to upgrade their application value. The overreaction in the current state for the fear of “fluorine” was concerned. For fire-fighting foams, the issue of “safety” needs to be critically weighed.
