BOULANGER, B., M. MILLS, C. M. ACHESON, AND T. J. HOLDSWORTH. WILL FLUOROTELOMER ALCOHOL BASED POLYMER FORMULATIONS BIODEGRADE DURING AEROBIC BIOLOGICAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT? Presented at EPA Science Forum 2006, Washington, DC, May 16 - 18, 2006.
Impact/Purpose:
To inform the public.
Description:
The release of fluorotelomer alcohol (FTOH) based polymer formulations (PFs) to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) may be an important source of the perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) observed in many environmental matrices. Working with the Office of Pollution, Prevention, and Toxics, our group has initiated a multiyear research program seeking to evaluate the fate of FTOH PFs from down the drain disposal of these commonly used polymer products.
