The acid dissociation constants for some PFAS are significantly lower than past metrics have indicated, with implications for their persistence and spread
Some per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are far more acidic than previously thought, a team led by researchers at the University of Buffalo in New York has determined. This matters because these values help predict the mobility of these persistent chemicals in the environment and their potential effects on human health.
