Abstract:A network meta-analysis (NMA) was conducted to explore
associations
between fluorotelomer alcohol (FTOH) transformation and factors affecting
perfluoroalkyl carboxylate (PFCA) evolution in synthetic and environmental
media. Data were extracted from a total of 14 primary research articles
aligned with bench-scale investigations into 6:2 and/or 8:2 FTOH biotransformation;
these data were subjected to a random effect NMA to simultaneously
evaluate influences of various experimental conditions on biotransformation… Show more
Much is known about fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs) in consumer products and FTOHs release to the environment. This Perspective provides some understanding of the release of FTOHs to the environment throughout the lifetime of consumer products.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
