A-Z — perfluorodecalin

Perfluorodecalin

Perfluorodecalin (PFD), is a perfluorocarbon - part of a group of chemicals closely related to PFASs, but quite different from PFASs in significant respects:   Unlike PFAS molecules, which can include oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur and/or nitrogen atoms, perfluorocarbon molecules contain only carbon and fluorine atoms. Perfluorocarbons are used in and emitted from different applications and industries than PFASs are (e.g. more healthcare related applications involving the transport of oxygen). The effects of perfluorocarbons on human health and the environment are substantially different than the effects of PFASs: Perfluorocarbons are not toxic, and there are no direct health effects associated with exposures...
