PFAS Use in Different Industries3

• The primary source of PFASs at Wurtsmith are attributed to AFFF* use.
• Prior to the invention of AFFF, Protein Foam was widely used – but not as effective.
• The Fluorine and Carbon bond is a very strong chemical bond, which makes PFASs resistant to heat, oxidation and reduction.
• PFASs stay in the environment for a very long time (i.e. very difficult to remediate and remove).

• The terminology of these compounds has evolved:
PFCs (Perfluorinated Compounds) - Used by Regulators and DOD
PFASs (Poly-and Perfluoroalkyl Substances) - Used by Industry and Academia
Terminology Evolution: PFCs vs. PFASs
PFASs
