C6-PFC: Het nieuwe vetvrije middel voor voedselverpakkingen

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are used in many applications, particularly as greaseproofing agents for food contact. PFCs 8-carbons in length or greater (C8-PFCs) have raised concerns regarding environmental biopersistence, bioaccumulation in humans, and potent toxicity.
Industry has replaced C8-PFCs with shorter-chained C6-based greaseproofing agents. The available database on toxicity and exposure to the C6 compounds is fairly limited. This article summarizes the information, focusing on aspects of human exposure and potential health risks associated with two types of C6 PFCs found in food packaging (Current Environmental Health Reports, 28 januari 2015).
