Abstract

Perfluoroocatane sulfonate(PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA) have reproductive,mutagenic and developmental toxicity,which are persistent organic pollutants and the most difficult to be degraded.These compounds show both oil and water repellence properties,thus being widely used in textile,leather,paper,etc.It was also found that PFOS and PFOA have unwittingly gotten into our food chain through food packaging materials,threatening food safety and public health.In this reviewed,the characteristics and detection technology of PFOS and PFOA were discussed.
