PFBS definition
Examples of PFBS in a sentence
Salts of PFBS are used as additives in plastics for anti-static properties, as flame retardants (in PC) and in manufacturing processes of plastics (e.g. for compounding).
NMeFOSAA, PFPeA, PFDA, and PFUnDA were detected in almost 50% of the samples, whereas only a small percentage of samples had detectable levels of PFBS (14%), PFOSA (0%), NEtFOSAA (5%), PFHxA (3%), PFHpA (14%), and PFDoA (2%).
Six less frequently detected PFAS (< 15%), including PFBS, PFOSA, PFHxSA, PFHpA, NEtFOSAA, and PFDoA, were excluded from further analyses, resulting in a total of eight PFAS with higher detection frequency (> 43%) in the analyses.
The PFAS with low detection frequencies (0-14%), including PFBS, PFOSA, NEtFOSAA, PFHxA, PFHpA, and PFDoA, were excluded from further statistical analyses due to the limited number of quantified measurements.
The target goal is Continuous treatment of 100% of Basin C water to less than 2 ng/L of PFOA and PFOS, less than 5 ng/L for GenX Chemicals and 3 ng/L for PFBS.

Perfluorohexane-1-sulphonic acid and its salts (PFHxS), and Perfluorobutane sulphonic acid (PFBS) and its salts are listed on the Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for authorization of the Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (REACH).
