Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) is a synthetic fluorinated organic compound with the molecular formula C8F17SO3H and CAS No. 1763-23-1. It is industrially produced via electrochemical fluorination of octyl sulfonates, serving as a critical intermediate for surfactants.
Strictly regulated under global conventions due to persistence and bioaccumulation. Requires specialized PPE during handling; storage must be in corrosion-resistant containers away from incompatible bases.
