In fact, TFA is likely the most pervasive form of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PFAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PFAS</span></a>)—technically, a subclass known as ultrashort-chain perfluoroalkyl acid (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PFAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PFAA</span></a>)—on Earth due in part to the fact that longer-chain PFAS degrade into TFA via <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/incinerators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>incinerators</span></a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SewageTreatment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SewageTreatment</span></a> plants.

'However, these early reports did not consider TFA’s ubiquitous accumulation in the environment, in particular its observed accumulation in water resources and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bioaccumulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bioaccumulation</span></a> in various plants, including crops.'</p><p>"One of the most dangerous things about PFAAs is what we don’t know about them. Unlike other PFAS (of which there are, sadly, thousands of different kinds), TFA is so small (a.k.a. ultrashort) that it’s water-soluble, meaning it likely passes through the human body pretty quickly. A new Nature article reports that some scientists find this evidence compelling enough to not even consider TFA a kind of PFAS, but a growing chorus of voices are raising concerns that increased concentrations of TFA in water and food sources could render TFA’s fast-moving nature a moot point.</p><p>"In fact, TFA’s water-solubility could be a long-term headache. If scientists and governments eventually decide that TFA does need to be removed from drinking water and other sources, current filtration technologies are not up to the task. In other words, ridding the world of TFA will not only be immensely difficult, it’ll also be incredibly expensive. Current regulations to eliminate certain forms of PFAS are already proving to be fiscally onerous.</p><p>"Thankfully, some governments are taking action. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Denmark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Denmark</span></a>, for example, banned 23 substances earlier this month known to contain PFAS that contribute to rising TFA concentrations. Meanwhile, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> is lagging behind—the Environmental Protection Agency [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EPA</span></a>] doesn’t even define TFA as a 'forever chemical,' much to the dismay of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmentalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>environmentalist</span></a> groups and to the merriment of many <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/industry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>industry</span></a> leaders.</p><p>"Rising concentrations of TFA is the acid rain sequel no one wanted.
