With their article published January 24, 2025, in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, Romain Figuière and co-authors from Stockholm University, Sweden, take an important step towards the phase-out of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by mapping their applications and currently available alternatives.
In their study the team compiled an open access database on PFAS applications, functions provided in these applications, and potential functional alternatives. They identified 325 PFAS applications, with 40 having suitable substitutions. Also, the database enables the identification of non-essential PFAS uses.
