Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are of high concern, with calls to regulate these as a class. In 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) revised the definition of PFAS to include any chemical containing at least one saturated CF2 or CF3 moiety. The consequence is that one of…
