It was written that the perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) compound belongs to the group of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are surfactants consisting of a hydrophobic alkyl chain and a hydrophilic end group. Since the 1940s, perfluoroalkyl compounds have been used in many areas, for example for textile, carpet and leather impregnation (for water and dirt-repellent treatments); in fire-fighting foams, in the production of greaseproof paper.
