Prevalence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in the environment and the effectiveness of current water treatment processes-Fluorinated organic chemicals have a wide range of industrial uses including medicine, agriculture and household products. Many of these chemicals are released directly into the environment as part of their use or lost through fugitive emissions. What makes these chemicals so persistent in the environment, is the strength of the carbon-fluorine bond (-CF3). The carbon-fluorine bond is resistant to degradation in the environment which results in the release of TFA as a terminal residue, following...
