Klappentext zu „Polyfluorinated Chemicals and Transformation Products “
Due to their unparalleled effectiveness and efficiency, polyfluorinated chemicals (PFC) have become essential in numerous technical applications. However, many PFCs brought to market show limited biodegradability, and their environmental persistence combined with toxic and bioaccumulative potential have become a matter of concern in some instances. This volume highlights the synthesis of PFCs, focusing on substances with improved application and environmental properties, which are a challenge for synthetic chemists. Further, modern mass spectrometric techniques for the detection and identification of biotransformation products of PFCs are described. The sorption and leaching behavior of PFC in soil is also addressed in order to predict their fate in the environment. Several contributions discuss the monitoring of PFCs in European surface, ground and drinking waters, treatment options for PFC removal from drinking water, occurrence in food, and the human biomonitoring of PFCs.

Pressezitat
From the reviews:"This recent monograph (2012) contains very-up-to-date and broad information on PFC production, uses, properties, detection and exposure. ... The information and literature review provided in this book is of significant value for researchers who want to learn more about recent PFC research achievements. ... This small book (172 p.) is clearly written and comprehensive, with a good balance between the different aspects dealing with PFCs. Environmental chemists, environmental toxicologists and epidemiologists would benefit from this valuable source of both methodological and monitoring information." (Philippe Garrigues, Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Vol. 20, 2013)
