CAS 754-91-6: Perfluorooctanesulfonamide
Description:Perfluorooctanesulfonamide (PFOSA) is a synthetic organic compound belonging to the class of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It is characterized by a long carbon chain, specifically an octane backbone, fully fluorinated, with a sulfonamide functional group. PFOSA is known for its high thermal and chemical stability, which makes it resistant to degradation in the environment. This compound is typically used as a surfactant and is associated with various industrial applications, including in the production of water- and oil-repellent coatings. Due to its persistent nature, PFOSA has raised environmental and health concerns, as it can accumulate in living organisms and has been detected in various environmental matrices, including water and soil. Toxicological studies suggest potential adverse effects, including endocrine disruption and developmental toxicity. Regulatory agencies are increasingly scrutinizing PFAS compounds, including PFOSA, leading to efforts aimed at reducing their use and mitigating their environmental impact. Overall, PFOSA exemplifies the challenges posed by persistent organic pollutants in modern chemistry and environmental science.
