Environmental context Perfluorinated compounds are emerging organic contaminants recently detected in various environmental matrices and remain largely unregulated. Among these matrices, air is the least studied one due to analytical challenges. This review explores trends analysing perfluorinated with use of bioindicators highlights future research needs address existing gaps detection monitoring. Abstract (PFCs) persistent pollutants extensive industrial applications, including firefighting foams, nonstick coatings textiles. Their contamination widespread their resistance degradation long-range atmospheric transport, leading presence ecosystems. PFCs pose significant hazards, bioaccumulation, endocrine disruption, hormonal imbalances potential carcinogenic effects. Despite ubiquity compartments, studies limited provides first comprehensive analysis biomonitoring atmosphere using bioindicators. The databases consulted for include Web Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed Google Scholar. By examining literature, we identify key gaps, highlight limitations underscore need standardised methods improve monitoring accuracy.
