Abstract Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are used globally as a key component of clean and sustainable energy infrastructure, emerging LiB technologies have incorporated class per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) known bis-perfluoroalkyl sulfonimides (bis-FASIs). PFAS recognized internationally recalcitrant contaminants, subset which to be mobile toxic, but little is about environmental impacts bis-FASIs released during manufacture, use, disposal. Here we demonstrate that concentrations proximal manufacturers, ecotoxicity, treatability comparable such perfluorooctanoic acid now prohibited highly regulated worldwide, confirm the sector an unrecognized potentially growing source international release. Results underscore infrastructure merit scrutiny ensure reduced CO 2 emissions not achieved at expense increasing global releases persistent organic pollutants.

A review on the impacts of fluorinated organic additives in lithium battery industry—an emerging source of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances

Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 54(17), С. 1285 - 1305

Опубликована: Янв. 22, 2024

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) industry is expanding rapidly in the context of addressing challenge climate change and energy crisis. As a technology-intensive product, large number new synthetic chemicals are applied LIBs production. Organic fluorine additives added multiple components LIBs, many these novel per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (with fully fluorinated methyl or methylene carbon atom), here, this work we referred to kind compounds as LIB-PFAS. LIB-PFAS may cause high exposure personnel contact with materials during production disposal processes, thus posing potential health risks occupational workers. The general population can be exposed when they released into surrounding air, soil, water. In order assess associated LIB-PFAS, review systematically summarizes chemical structures, analytical methods, possible emission routes human pathways, their bioaccumulation, distribution, elimination behaviors humans, existing toxicity data particular, screening identification methods for 57 discussed, well investigation processes manufacturing LIB. Although available scientific still limited, provide an insightful view perspective further research on environmental impacts

The application of aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs) has caused considerable per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pollution in the environment. Soil serves as a long-term source PFAS for adjacent groundwater surface water, but lack extractable organofluorine (EOF) mass balance data AFFF-impacted soils may lead to an underestimation contamination. This study analyzed ten soil samples from three sites Sweden, using alkaline extraction followed by acidic extraction. fractions were subjected further cleanup separately target, suspect screening, EOF analysis evaluate efficiencies different reveal remaining unknown soils.

Unveiling Priority Emerging PFAS in Taihu Lake Using Integrated Nontarget Screening, Target Analysis, and Risk Characterization

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 58(42), С. 18980 - 18991

Опубликована: Окт. 11, 2024

Amidst tightening regulations, the proliferation of next-generation per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) necessitates a deeper understanding their environmental fate potential risks. Here, we conducted comprehensive assessment PFAS in water sediment Taihu Lake, incorporating both nontarget target screening, seasonal geographical variation analysis, risk prioritization. A total 58 from 13 classes were identified, revealing complex contamination. In addition to short-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs) sulfonates (PFSAs), bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Ntf2) perfluoro-2,5-dimethyl-3,6-dioxo-heptanoic acid (C7 HFPO-TA) exhibited relatively high concentrations water, with median values 21.7 5.72 ng/L, respectively. Seasonal analysis revealed elevated levels C7 HFPO-TA, Ntf2, perfluorohexanoic (PFHxA) northeastern areas, suggesting transport via diversion project. Multicriteria prioritization identified four priority (Ntf2, PFHxA, perfluorooctanoic (PFOA)) two (hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer (HFPO-DA) PFHxA) sediment. Overall, this study Ntf2 HFPO-TA as underscoring urgent necessity evaluating risks associated these emerging PFAS.

Environmental Occurrence and Biotic Concentrations of Ultrashort-Chain Perfluoroalkyl Acids: Overlooked Global Organofluorine Contaminants

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 58(49), С. 21393 - 21410

Опубликована: Ноя. 13, 2024

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a large group of anthropogenic fluorinated chemicals. Ultrashort-chain perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) have recently gained attention due to their prevalence in the environment increasing environmental concerns. In this review, we established literature database from 1990 2024, encompassing biological concentrations (>3,500 concentration records) five historically overlooked ultrashort-chain PFAAs (perfluoroalkyl carboxylic sulfonic with less than 4 carbons): trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), perfluoropropanoic (PFPrA), trifluoromethanesulfonic (TFMS), perfluoroethanesulfonate (PFEtS), perfluoropropanesulfonate (PFPrS). Our data mining analysis reveal that (1) globally distributed various environments including water bodies, solid matrices, air, usually higher those longer-chain compounds; (2) TFA, most extensively studied PFAA, shows consistent upward trend surface water, rainwater, air over past three decades; (3) present organisms, plants, wildlife, human blood, serum, urine, sometimes similar compounds. The current state knowledge regarding sources fate TFA other is also reviewed. Amid global urgency regulate PFASs, particularly as countries worldwide intensified such efforts, critical review will inform scientific research regulatory policies.

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of persistent organic pollutants whose high stability appreciable water solubility have led to near-global contamination. PFAS bioaccumulative toxins that been linked myriad disorders detected nearly universally in human blood. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is the most frequent method used for quantitation, though this typically only measures few dozen >14 000 known has shown account small portion total fluorine present. Sum parameter methods such as total, extractable, adsorbable emerged alternative measurements determination. Combustion ion chromatography become preferred organofluorine measurement where sorbent or extract containing combusted emitted hydrofluoric acid (HF) measure cumulative Herein we critically review types measurement, their separation from sample matrix, key parameters analytical instrument affect sensitivity, reproducibility, recovery with regards analysis.
