What Are PFCs Or Perfluorinated Compounds?
PFCs are man-made fully fluorinated compounds which are not naturally found in the environment.
Why Are PFCs Harmful?
After oral exposure, PFCs accumulate and adsorb in the serum, kidney, and liver. They are resistant to direct oxidation, photolytic degradation, biodegradation and air stripping/ vapor extraction, making their removal difficult.
What Is The Solution?
Since each water source contains different combinations and levels of PFCs, as well as TOCs, it is advised that a lab or pilot test be performed on a representative water sample to determine the adsorption zone needed, as well as the estimated carbon exhaustion rate to properly design an activated carbon adsorption system.
