Modern HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) refrigerants are a growing contributor of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance. These substances, otherwise known as PFAS “forever chemicals” introduce long-term PFAS pollution risks. This white paper examines the growing global concern over the role HFO refrigerants and their TFA byproducts play in the impending PFAS pollution disaster.
Papers
The EPA’s program for approving the safe use of refrigerants in specific industry applications is guided by Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP). Under this program, the EPA issues Rules or Notices to identify acceptable and unacceptable uses of evaluated refrigerants. These acceptances are limited to specific applications for each refrigerant.
