Is organofluorine sustainable? Life cycle consideration of the manufacture and use of organofluorine compounds

Chemistry

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Organofluorine compounds have become integrated into the infrastructure of modern society. However, concerns over toxicity and persistence in the environment are causing reassessment of the use of many industrial organofluorine products. A risk-benefit analysis of these unique compounds and life-cycle studies of the major types of organofluorine compounds are conducted in this article in order to identify and address the real issues of concern.
