Since the introduction in the 1950s, PFASs have been used extensively in broad commercial and industrial applications ranging from food-contact coatings and stain-repellants to firefighting foams due to their amphilicity and thermal stability. It is these same properties that contribute to their global accumulation as environmental persistent contaminants. In response, both the US EPA and leading PFAS manufactures voluntarily agreed eliminate the production of conventional PFAS. Novel and next-general PFAS alternatives have been then developed as the replacement for the conventional PFAS, which are: Short perfluorinated chain PFAS (
