Download or read book Perfluoroalkyl Substances in the Environment written by David M. Kempisty and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as per- (and poly) fluorinated compounds (PFCs), have been used for years in many everyday3⁄4 and some lifesaving3⁄4 products. However, their use has been linked to adverse health effects in humans, a problem compounded by their persistence in the environment. This book discusses the various challenges of PFAS in our environment today, including their historical use as well as their chemical and toxicological properties. It also presents robust discussion of analytical challenges and special considerations in sampling. The work goes on to give practical recommendations for dealing with these compounds in today's dynamic regulatory landscape and includes several chapters on various remediation techniques. Key Features: Comprehensive overview of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) historical use and chemical/physical properties which help us understand their persistence, transport, and transformation pathways in the environment In-depth analysis of PFAS toxicology Detailed descriptions of conventional and state-of-the-art remediation technologies Practical recommendations for dealing with PFAS in a dynamic regulatory landscape Robust discussion of important sampling and analytical considerations Perfluoroalkyl Substances in the Environment: Theory, Practice, and Innovation explores the challenges across the topical areas of regulation and management, toxicology, environmental remediation, and analytical sampling and analysis.Readers will find this text helpful in understanding complexities associated with PFAS and informing management strategies to effectively protect this and future generations.

Download or read book The cost of inaction written by Gretta Goldenman and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2019-03-17 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PFAS (per and polyfluoroalkylsubstances) are known to be extremely difficult to degrade in the environment and to be bioaccumulative and toxic. Exposure to PFAS is suspected to increase the risk of adverse health effects, such as impacts on the thyroid gland, the liver, fat metabolism and the immune system. This study estimates the socioeconomic costs that may result from impacts on human health and the environment from the use of PFAS. Better awareness of the costs and problems associated with PFAS exposure will assist decision-makers and the general public to make more efficient and timely risk management decisions. Findings indicate that the costs are substantial, with annual health-related costs estimated to 2.8 – 4.6 billion EUR for the Nordic countries and 52 – 84 billion EUR for all EEA countries. Overall non-health costs are estimated at 46 million – 11 billion EUR for the Nordic countries.Upon request the excel spreadsheets used for the monetarisation and valuation in this report can also be provided along with a guidance on how to use the estimation of costs for value transfer. Please contact any of the consultants or members of the steering group from the Swedish Chemicals Agency or the Danish Environmental Protection Agency if you are interested in receiving these excel spreadsheets.

Download or read book 1 1 1 2 Tetrafluoroethane written by P. Barker and published by . This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise assessment of the risks to human health posed by exposure to 1 1 1 2-tetrafluoro-ethane, a gaseous fluorocarbon used primarily as a refrigerant for high-temperature refrigerators, including domestic refrigerators and automobile air conditioners. Concerning environmental behavior, the report cites evidence that 1 1 1 2-tetrafluoroethane partitions almost exclusively to the atmosphere. Limited evidence suggests that the chemical does not accumulate in biota or adsorb to soil or sediment. The chemical's overall lifetime in the troposphere is estimated to be 14.6 years. Recent observations show a rapid increase in atmospheric concentrations, mainly as a result of emissions over the past decade. Modeling indicates insignificant ozone depletion potential, significant global warming potential, and negligible acidification potential. Data on toxic effects are limited. Animal studies have identified a reduction in maternal body weight gain in rabbits and signs of delayed fetal development in rats. Studies of carcinogenicity were judged to be inconclusive. Data on health effects in humans are limited to a single study conducted in volunteers. The study found no abnormalities following exposure via inhalation and no clinical signs of toxicity. The low toxicity of 1 1 1 2-tetrafluoroethane to the few aquatic organisms tested, as well as the chemical's high volatility, indicate that risks to aquatic organisms are negligible.

Environmental Protection Agency and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.
