Heterogeneous Photooxidation of Fluorotelomer Alcohols: A New Source of Aerosol-Phase Perfluorinated Carboxylic Acids
Abstract
Little is known of the atmospheric fate(s) of fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs), a class of high-production-volume chemicals used in the production of water- and oil-repelling surface coatings and which have been detected in a wide variety of urban and remote environmental matrices. In the present study, we investigated the uptake and photochemistry of FTOHs at the surface of TiO2, Fe2O3, Mauritanian sand, and Icelandic volcanic ash. Gas-phase …
