Abstract

Because of their global distribution, environmental persistence, and potential risk to human beings and ecosystems, poly- and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are of particular concern to scientific and regulatory communities. Despite this concern, data about the physicochemical properties and aquatic toxicity of PFCs are still limited, and there are big debates regarding the actual values of some properties investigated. In order to have a clear overview of the data available, the authors summarize the data available for the physicochemical properties and aquatic toxicity of PFCs.
