More environmentally friendly alternatives to PFOS-compounds and PFOA 
Key Subjects in Danish: consumption;  products;  chemicals;  effects
 
Abstract in Danish: Perfluoroctanesulphonate (PFOS) and related substances are used in
several industrial and consumer products due to their ability to repel both water and oil.  PFOA are found as an impurity.  The substances are
very persistent and found widespread in the environment.  Perfluorinated substances have negative effects on a.o.  the liver and can have
endocrine disrupting effects.  The use of PFOS and PFOA and related 
substances in Denmark and other countries is described, and likewise the use of alternatives is described.  The environmen- tally as well as the
effects on health for PFOS, PFOA, and related substances and the alternatives are evaluated.
