全氟和多氟烷基物质
 |
全氟和多氟烷基物质，据其英文（Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances）常简称为PFAS[1]或PFASs[2]，是一类烷基链上附着多个氟原子的合成有机氟化合物。根据PubChem数据库，这类化合物多达七百万种。[3]自1938年特氟龙问世以来，PFAS被人类广泛应用于生产可耐热、抗污、防油、疏水的氟聚合物涂料等产品中。如今，此类材料被广泛用以制造多种商品，包括尼龙、瑜伽裤、地毯等防水织物，洗发水、女性生理用品、手机屏幕、墙漆、家具、黏合剂、食品包装、[4]特氟龙等耐高温不沾表面、[5]灭火泡沫，以及电线绝缘材料等等。[6][7][8]PFAS亦见于多种美妆与护理产品之中，包括口红、眼线、睫毛膏、粉底、遮瑕、润唇膏、胭脂，以及美甲产品。[9][10]
许多全氟和多氟烷基物质，例如全氟辛基磺酸（PFOS）和全氟辛酸（PFOA），作为持久性有机污染物，对人类健康和环境造成了严重威胁。《华盛顿邮报》2018年的一篇文章将它们称为“永久化学品”。[11]有机化学中，碳-氟键是已知最强单键之一，因而一些PFAS的半衰期超过八年。[12][13][14][15][16]这些物质可以在土壤中迁移，并在鱼类和野生动物体内积聚，最终通过食物链进入人体。目前，PFAS残留物已普遍存在于雨水、饮用水和废水中。[12][17][18][7]此类化合物因其高度流动性，容易经由皮肤和鼻泪管被人体吸收，人类亦或通过唇部用品无意间摄食PFAS。[19]这类物质种类繁多，不同物质对人类健康和环境的构成不同的潜在风险，相关评估与研究正在进行当中。[20][12][21][22][6]
接触全氟和多氟烷基物质或导致多种健康问题。一些PFAS已被认定为致癌物或内分泌干扰物，与肾癌、前列腺癌、睾丸癌、溃疡性结肠炎、甲状腺疾病等多种疾病相关，并可损害生育能力，引发荷尔蒙失调，增加次优抗体反应/免疫力下降的风险。妊娠期高血压、婴儿和胎儿生长发育迟缓、肥胖、血脂异常（胆固醇水平畸高），也都是部分PFAS可能导致的情形。[6][23][24]
定义
[编辑]在早期定义下，此类物质至少须包含一个全氟烷基。2021年，经合组织扩大了PFAS的内涵，对其作如下定义：
根据此定义，最简单的PFAS是四氟化碳，[26]而四氟乙烯（无全氟甲基或全氟亚甲基）、二氟甲烷、氟仿（有氢原子与唯一的碳原子相连）等不属于PFAS。[25]
含氟表面活性剂
[编辑]含氟表面活性剂，或氟化表面活性剂，是全氟和多氟烷基物质的一类，为纺织、皮革、造纸和化工行业所普遍运用。[27]:102它们具有疏水的氟化“尾部”和亲水的“头部”，表现出表面活性剂的特性。它们包括全氟磺酸，如全氟辛烷磺酸（PFOS）；和全氟羧酸，如全氟辛酸（PFOA）。与其他表面活性剂一样，氟化表面活性剂倾向于集中在相界面。
氟元素具有较高的电负性和较短的键长，从而降低了表面活性剂分子中含氟部分的可极化性，这类表面活性剂也就拥有了更小的伦敦分散力。因此，与常规的烃类表面活性剂相比，氟化表面活性剂能更显著地降低水或油的表面张力。此外，碳-氟键的稳定也使得含氟表面活性剂的稳定性更为优越，能够耐受高热、强酸、强碱。[27]:101以上的优势也意味着氟化表面活性剂在环境中更难分解而持久存在。
全氟辛烷磺酸、全氟辛酸和全氟壬酸等氟化表面活性剂，因其毒性、持久性，以及在大众血液中的普遍存在，已引起各国监管机构关注。

注释
[编辑]- ^ 须澄清的是，若某化合物已经含有完全氟化的甲基或亚甲基碳原子，且该原子不与氢/氯/溴/碘原子相连，其他碳原子则可以与此四种原子相连，如氯代多氟醚基磺酸（）、五氟碘乙烷（）等。[25]
- ^ 原文：PFAS are defined as fluorinated substances that contain at least one fully fluorinated methyl or methylene carbon atom (without any H/Cl/Br/I atom attached to it), i.e., with a few noted exceptions, any chemical with at least a perfluorinated methyl group (−CF3) or a perfluorinated methylene group (−CF2−) is a PFAS.
