Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Fluorinated Telomers
January 12, 2005: Draft PFOA Risk Assessment submitted to EPA Science Advisory Board for Peer Review: SAB meeting February 22-23, 2005.
PFOA stands for perfluorooctanoic acid, a synthetic (man-made) chemical that does not occur naturally in the environment. PFOA is sometimes called "C8."
Companies use PFOA to make fluoropolymers, substances with special properties that have thousands of important manufacturing and industrial applications.
Consumer products made with fluoropolymers include non-stick cookware and breathable, all-weather clothing. More BASIC INFORMATION about PFOA.
EPA began its investigation because PFOA is very persistent in the environment, was being found at very low levels both in the environment and in the blood of
the general U.S. population, and caused developmental and other adverse effects in laboratory animals. EPA summarized its concerns and identified data gaps
and uncertainties about PFOA in a notice published in the Federal Register.

Risk Assessment
You will need Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF
page to learn more.
In January 2005, the EPA Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics submitted a Draft Risk
Assessment of the Potential Human Health Effects Associated With Exposure to
Perfluorooctanoic Acid and Its Salts (PFOA) (PDF) (132pp, 450KB) to the EPA Science
Advisory Board (SAB) for formal peer review. EPA sought this early stage scientific peer
review from an outside panel of experts in order to ensure the most rigorous science is
used in the Agency's ongoing evaluation of PFOA. That draft was preliminary and did not
provide conclusions regarding potential levels of concern. The SAB reviewed the
information that was available at the time, and suggested that the PFOA cancer data are
consistent with the EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment descriptor "likely to
be carcinogenic to humans."
Since its review, additional research has been conducted pertaining to the carcinogenicity
of PFOA. EPA is still in the process of evaluating this information and has not made any
definitive conclusions regarding potential risks, including cancer, at this time.
More information can be found on the SAB PFOA Review Panel Website.
EPA is not waiting for all of the answers to be known before taking action, however. In
January 2006, EPA asked eight companies in the industry to commit to reducing PFOA
from facility emissions and product content by 95 percent no later than 2010, and to work
toward eliminating PFOA from emissions and product content no later than 2015. All eight
8
of the invited companies submitted commitments to the Stewardship Program by March
1,
2006. Read more information on the PFOA 2010/15 Stewardship Program.
In 2006, former Administrator Stephen L. Johnson invited the eight major
fluoropolymer and telomer manufacturers to join in a global stewardship program with
two goals:
To commit to achieve, no later than 2010, a 95% reduction, measured from a year
2000 baseline, in both facility emissions to all media of PFOA, precursor chemicals
that can break down to PFOA, and related higher homologue chemicals, and product
content levels of these chemicals.
To commit to working toward the elimination of these chemicals from emissions and
products by 2015.
Participating companies include:
Arkema, Asahi, Ciba, Clariant, Daikin, 3M, DuPont, Solvay Solexis
Submitted baseline year 2000 data on emissions and product content at the end of
October 2006.
Report annual progress toward goals each succeeding October and report progress
in terms of both U.S. and global operations.
Companies also agreed to work cooperatively with EPA and establish scientifically
credible analytical standards and laboratory methods to ensure comparability
of reporting

Facts:
No natural sources. Water-soluble PFCA salts used in
fluoropolymer processing. Not released in major quantities.
Presence of PFCAs in remote areas suggests atmospheric
source.
The science (why) question?
Why are they here?
Where do long chain Perfluorocarboxylicacids
(PFCAs), CnF2n+1COOH come from?
Our hypothesis:
They are atmospheric degradation products from other long chain
fluorinated compounds emitted to the atmosphere

Research Question:
Does atmospheric oxidation of FTOHs contribute
significantly to PFCA burden in remote locations?
Three necessary conditions:
(1) FTOH survive atmospheric transport
(2) FTOH degrade to give PFCAs
(3) Magnitude of PFCA formation must be significant

Linear fits give k10/k11 = 1.18±0.15 and k10/k12 = 0.131±0.018.
Using k11 = 8.5 x 10-13 and k12 = 8.66 x 10-12 gives
k10 = (1.00±0.13) x 10-12 and (1.13±0.16) x 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1.
Final value, k10 = (1.07±0.22) x 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1.

FTOH Lifetime Estimate
Assuming:
atmospheric lifetime* for CH3CCl3 = 5.7 years
k(CH3CCl3 + OH) = 1.0 x 10-14 cm3 molecule-1 s-1
then
atmospheric lifetime* of F(CF2)nCH2CH2OH 
(1.0x10-14)/(1.1x10-12) x 5.7 x 365  20 days.
* with respect to reaction with OH radicals
30
Other loss mechanisms?
Photolysis – should be negligible
Rainout – estimated to be negligible
Dry deposition – lifetime estimated to be 8 years
Homogeneous reactions other than with OH - unlikely
Atmospheric lifetime determined by reaction
with OH and is approximately 20 days.
31
Ramifications of Lifetime
(1) Estimate flux of 100-1000 t yr-1 necessary to sustain
observed atmospheric concentration.
(2) FTOH have negligible GWP
(3) Spatial distribution will be inhomogeneous
(4) FTOH will be transported to remote locations. Global
average wind speed = 5 m s-1, 20 days = 8500 km.
32
20 days… Long Enough for Long Range Transport?
Assuming
5m/s winds
and a 20d
lifetime,
FTOHs could
be transported
over 8500 km
Copenhagen
to Detroit =
6500 km

Does atmospheric oxidation of FTOHs contribute

FTIR data shows that in gas phase:
in absence of NOx
4:2 FTOH   C4F9CHO  C4F9COOH
in presence of NOx
4:2 FTOH   C4F9CHO  C4F9COOH
Likely explanation, presence of HO2 radicals in absence of NOx
Well established that CH3C(O)O2 + HO2 gives acetic acid and
peracetic acid, ,presumably CxF2x+1C(O)O2 + HO2 reaction gives
CxF2x+1COOH and CxF2x+1COOOH.

Does atmospheric oxidation of FTOHs contribute
significantly to PFCA burden in remote locations?
Three necessary conditions:
(1) Do FTOHs survive atmospheric transport?
YES
(2) Do FTOHs degrade to give PFCAs?
YES
(3) Magnitude of PFCA formation must be significant
49
FTOH flux into Northern Hemisphere = 100-1000 t yr-1
Assume molar PFCA yield from FTOH of 1-10%
Hence, PFCA flux = 1-100 t yr-1
Assume even spatial distribution
Hence, PFCA flux to Arctic = 0.1 - 10 t yr-1
Persistent organochlorine pesticides arctic loading =1.8 t yr-1
Organochlorine pesticides detectable in polar bears at a
similar concentration to PFCAs ( 100-1000 ng/g)
Order of magnitude calculations suggest atmospheric
oxidation of FTOHs is plausible explanation of PFCAs in
remote areas.

Concentration of PFOA (in molecule cm-3) at 50 m. altitude in the
University of Michigan 3D model (IMPACT) for January and July.
The color scale extends from (A) 0 to 1.2x103 and (B) 0 to 3x103 molecule cm-3.

Conclusions
1. The available evidence suggests, that the
atmospheric oxidation of FTOHs makes a
significant contribution to the PFCA burden in
remote locations.
2. This is just the tip of the ice berg
3. The automobile industry uses large
quantities of fluoropolymers but little, if any,
FTOHs. Vehicles do not appear to be a
source of PFCAs 

significantly to PFCA burden in remote locations?
Three necessary conditions:
(1) FTOH survive atmospheric transport
(2) FTOH degrade to give PFCAs
(3) Magnitude of PFCA formation must be significant
