Perfluoro-octyl ethanoic Acid (Cat No.:C001045), also known as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), is a synthetic organic compound used in non-stick coatings and stain-resistant products. It is a persistent environmental contaminant, resisting natural breakdown, and has been detected in air, water, soil, and organisms. PFOA has been associated with health risks, including reproductive and liver issues, immune system disruption, and possible links to cancer.
