DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.9b05869
Abstract: This study explores structure-reactivity relationships for the degradation of emerging perfluoroalkyl ether carboxylic acid (PFECA) pollutants with ultraviolet-generated hydrated electrons (eaq-). The rate and extent of PFECA degradation depend on both the branching extent and… read more here.
