Description:

The purpose of this report is to retrospectively provide an assessment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) for the Laurentian Great Lakes between 2013 and 2018. PFASs represents a group of synthetic fluorine-containing compounds, with over 12,000 variations in existence, used in consumer and industrial applications related to surface protection/coatings, fire-fighting aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF), insecticides, and commercial polymer manufacturing. PFAS compounds are remarkably persistent, and resist biodegradation based on their physicochemical properties and stable structures, thus allowing the persistence of these contaminants in aquatic environment for extended periods.
