PFAS, which stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a diverse group of chemicals that include PFCAs, PFOA, PFSAs, PFHxS, and thousands of others. These chemicals have been in commercial production since the 1950s and are now widely used in consumer and industrial applications. One characteristic of PFAS is their persistence in the environment, as they are extremely resistant to degradation. PFAS have emerged as contaminants of global concern because of their potential to accumulate in the human body and food chains.
On 12-13 February 2024, a wide range of stakeholders, including governments, industry, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and academics came together to discuss various topics related to PFAS. These topics covered areas such as country risk management approaches, innovation challenges for finding safer alternatives, effective risk communication strategies, monitoring techniques, waste management, and approaches to managing contamination.

Perfluorinated surfactants are emerging pollutants of increasing public health and environmental
concern due to recent reports of their world-wide distribution, environmental persistence and bioaccu-
mulation potential. Treatment methods for the removal of anionic perfluorochemical (PFC) surfactants
from industrial effluents are needed to minimize the environmental release of these pollutants. Removal
of PFC surfactants from aqueous solutions by sorption onto various types of granular activated carbon
was investigated. Three anionic PFC surfactants, i.e., perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic
acid (PFOA) and perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), were evaluated for the ability to adsorb onto activated
carbon. Additionally, the sorptive capacity of zeolites and sludge for PFOS was compared to that of
granular activated carbon. Adsorption isotherms were determined at constant ionic strength in a pH
7.2 phosphate buffer at 30 �C. Sorption of PFOS onto activated carbon was stronger than PFOA and PFBS,
suggesting that the length of the fluorocarbon chain and the nature of the functional group influenced
sorption of the anionic surfactants. Among all adsorbents evaluated in this study, activated carbon
(Freundlich KF values = 36.7�60.9) showed the highest affinity for PFOS at low aqueous equilibrium
concentrations, followed by the hydrophobic, high-silica zeolite NaY (Si/Al 80, KF = 31.8), and anaerobic
sludge (KF = 0.95�1.85). Activated carbon also displayed a superior sorptive capacity at high soluble
concentrations of the surfactant (up to 80 mg l�1). These findings indicate that activated carbon adsorp-
tion is a promising treatment technique for the removal of PFOS from dilute aqueous streams.

Question 1 - 4 marks (750 words)
Conceptual frameworks have identified a number of qualitative criteria that financial information should possess if it is to be useful to decision making. The AASB framework Chapter 3 QC12-16 for example makes reference to ‘faithful representation’, with neutrality being one of the key components of ‘faithful representation’. Critically evaluate whether it is possible for financial information to ever be neutral and/or representationally faithful. In your discussion you should consider why standard setters might want to make reference to representational faithfulness within conceptual frameworks.
Question 3 - 4 marks (750 words)
The Conceptual Framework Chapter 1 OB2 states that "the objective of general purpose financial reporting is to provide financial information about the reporting entity that is useful to existing and potential investors, lenders and other creditors in making decisions about providing resources to the entity" Does the identification of these particular users have implications for the measurement basis chosen by the IASB? In your response you will need to consider whether fair values or historical costs will be more relevant to the users identified within the conceptual framework.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) have increasingly attrac-
ted global concerns in recent years due to their global distribution, persistence, strong
bioaccumulation and potential toxicity. The feasibility of using powder activated carbon
(PAC), granular activated carbon (GAC) and anion-exchange resin (AI400) to remove PFOS
and PFOA from water was investigated with regard to their sorption kinetics and

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) have increasingly attrac-
ted global concerns in recent years due to their global distribution, persistence, strong
bioaccumulation and potential toxicity. The feasibility of using powder activated carbon
(PAC), granular activated carbon (GAC) and anion-exchange resin (AI400) to remove PFOS
and PFOA from water was investigated with regard to their sorption kinetics and
isotherms ...

2. Dear customer,
Over the last 15+ years, the Fire Fighting Foam
Industry has been working to understand how
environmental pollution arising from the use of
fluorinated AFFF concentrates can be removed.
I enclose in this booklet:
> A resume of the background of PFOS and PFOA released in
the environment
> How it was caused by the use of long chain perfluorinated
surfactants which degraded in the environment to PFOA
and PFOA
> A summary of how the foam concentrate industry has moved
to short chain (C6 technology) perfluorinated surfactants
which do not degrade in the environment to PFOS and PFOA
> A summary of C6 technology approval to use in the USA and
Europe
Should you have any further questions, do please send an email

INTRODUCTION TO C6 TECHNOLOGY UPDATE
3. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 3
www.firefightingfoam.com
PFOS
Some fifteen years ago, concern was expressed that fire fighting foam using materials
manufactured through electrochemical fluorination (ECF) could break down into
perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) which, in the environment, is:
> Persistent > Bioaccumulative > Toxic
PFOS-containing foams have been withdrawn from the market and are no longer used.
PFOA
Further investigation showed that existing perfluorinated surfactants used in other AFFFS could
break down into perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in the environment.
Research showed that the risk of breakdown into PFOA could be eliminated if the perfluorinated
surfactant used in AFFFs was restricted from perfluorinated carbon chain lengths of C8 and
greater to a C6 chain length.
By restricting the chain length to C6 perfluorinated surfactants:
> the process of producing PFOS is eliminated
> the process of degradation to environmentally harmful PFOA is avoided.
ABERDEEN FOAM
Our range of Aberdeen Foam concentrates:
> use only telomer-manufactured C6 perfluorinated surfactants
> have been tested to meet international standards including
> UL 162 > ICAO Levels B & C > EN 1568: 2008
C6 technology is now agreed as the way forward by international bodies
> EU ECHA > US EPA > Canadian EPA
Now that C6 fire fighting foams are approved and available, we take pleasure in
enclosing a recent article released in January 2017 by the Fire Fighting Foam Coalition
explaining the benefits of using C6 Fire Fighting Foam concentrates.

ABERDEEN FOAM
4. AFFF FIRE FIGHTING FOAMS
INTRODUCTION
More than a decade after the end of production of PFOS-based AFFF agents, there is continued
discussion within the fire protection industry on the environmental impact and efficacy of fire
fighting foams. The discussion of environmental impact is usually focused on foams that contain
fluorochemicals, while the discussion of efficacy is usually focused on foams that do not contain
fluorochemicals. The Fire Fighting Foam Coalition (FFFC) has produced this fact sheet to provide
you with accurate, up-to-date information about these issues.
KEY FACTS
> All modern AFFF agents contain fluorotelomer-based fluorosurfactants.
> Fluorotelomer-based AFFF agents are the most effective foams currently available to fight
flammable liquid fires in military, industrial, aviation, and municipal applications. They
provide rapid extinguishment, burnback resistance, and protection against vapor release.
> Fire test results presented at international fire protection conferences in 2011, 2013, 2015
and 2016 all show that AFFF agents are significantly more effective at extinguishing
flammable liquid fires than fluorine-free foams.
> Fluorotelomer-based foams do not contain or break down into PFOS (perfluorooctane
sulfonate) or homologues of PFOS such as PFHxS (perfluorohexane sulfonate).
> Fluorotelomer-based foams are not made with PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) or any PFOA-based
products, but may contain trace quantities as a byproduct of the manufacturing process.
> The short-chain (C6) fluorosurfactants that have been the predominant fluorochemicals
used in fluorotelomer-based AFFF for the last 25 years are low in toxicity and not considered
to be bioaccumulative based on current regulatory criteria.
> Foam manufacturers have transitioned or are in the process of transitioning to the use of
only short-chain (C6) fluorosurfactants in their fluorinated foam products.
> Proposed regulations on long-chain (≥ C8) perfluorinated chemicals (PFAS) in Canada, the
European Union, and the United States allow for the use of short-chain (C6) fluorochemicals
as alternatives to long-chains in foam and other applications. These regulations do not
restrict the use of existing stocks of fluorotelomer-based foams.
> Foam and fluorochemical manufacturers are promoting the use of best practices in order
to minimize emissions of fire fighting foams to the environment. Best practices include the
containment and treatment of foam discharges and the use of non-fluorinated
fluids and methods for training and the testing of foam equipment.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The environmental impact of AFFF-type fluorosurfactants has been extensively studied and a
large body of data is available in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. The bulk of this data
continues to show that short-chain (C6) AFFF fluorosurfactants and their likely breakdown
products are low in toxicity and not considered to be bioaccumulative or biopersistent according
to current regulatory criteria.
Groundwater monitoring studies have shown the predominant breakdown product of
the short-chain (C6) fluorosurfactants contained in fluorotelomer-based AFFF to be 6:2
fluorotelomer sulfonate (6:2 FTS) [6:2 being the ratio of carbon atoms to fluorine atoms]10
.
A broad range of existing data on 6:2 FTS indicate that it is not similar to PFOS in either its
physical or ecotoxicological properties2,3,4,5
. Recent studies on AFFF fluorosurfactants likely to
break down to 6:2 FTS show it to be generally low in acute, sub-chronic, and aquatic toxicity,
and neither a genetic nor developmental toxicant. Both the AFFF fluorosurfactant and 6:2 FTS
were significantly lower than PFOS when tested in biopersistence screening studies that provide
a relative measure of biouptake and clearance6
.
Aerobic biodegradation studies of 6:2 FTS in activated sludge have been conducted to
better understand its environmental fate7
. These studies show that the rate of 6:2 FTS
biotransformation was relatively slow and the yield of all stable transformation products
was 19 times lower than 6:2 fluorotelomer alcohol (6:2 FTOH) in aerobic soil. In particular,
it was shown that 6:2 FTS is not likely to be a major source of perfluorocarboxylic acids or
polyfluorinated acids in wastewater treatment plants. Importantly neither 6:2 FTOH nor PFHpA
(perfluoroheptanoic acid) were seen in this study.
PFHxA (perfluorohexanoic acid) is a possible breakdown product and contaminant that may
be found in trace quantities in fluorotelomer-based AFFF. Extensive data on PFHxA presented
in 2006 and 2007 gave a very favorable initial toxicology (hazard) profile8,9,10,11
. Testing was
done on four major toxicology end points: sub-chronic toxicity in rats, reproductive toxicity in
rats, developmental toxicity in rats, and genetic toxicity. Results show that PFHxA was neither a
selective reproductive nor a selective developmental toxicant. In addition it was clearly shown to
be neither genotoxic nor mutagenic. In 2011 results were published from a 24-month combined
chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity study, which demonstrated that under the conditions of this
study PFHxA is not carcinogenic in rats and its chronic toxicity was low12
.
6. CONCLUSIONS
> Fluorotelomer-based AFFF agents are the most effective agents currently available to fight
class B, flammable liquid fires.
> They do not contain or breakdown into PFOS and are not likely to be a significant source
of long-chain perfluorochemicals.
> They do contain fluorosurfactants that are persistent, but are not generally considered to
be environmental toxins.
> AFFF and fluorochemical manufacturers are in position to meet the requirements of
upcoming regulations with short-chain (C6) fluorosurfactants that provide the same fire
protection characteristics with reduced environmental impacts.

INTRODUCTION
A large majority of EU member states have backed a draft Regulation setting out a proposed
restriction on the manufacture and marketing of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
The restriction, which also covers PFOA’s salts and related substances, will come into force three
years after the Regulation is published.
However, discussing the proposal at the 7 December REACH Committee meeting, a majority of
member states rejected France’s proposal to shorten the transition period to 30 months.
The restriction would apply to the use of PFOA, its salts and related substances in the production
of or marketing in another substance as a constituent, a mixture, or an article at concentrations
above 25 parts per billion (ppb) of PFOA, including its salts; or 1,000ppb of one, or a combination
of, PFOA-related substances.
The original proposal from Germany and Norway suggested a 2ppb limit for PFOA. However,
Echa’s committees for risk assessment (Rac) and socio-economic analysis (Seac) proposed
the higher limits that made it into the proposed Regulation. At the time, NGOs accused the
committees of “rubber stamping” industry proposals.
REACH COMMITTEE MEETING
At the recent REACH Committee meeting, member states agreed the proposed restriction should
apply to latex printing inks and equipment for making semiconductors five years after the date of
the Regulation’s entry into force.
They also agreed a six-year transition period for its application to:
> textiles for the protection of workers from risks to their health and safety
> membranes intended for use in medical textiles, filtration in water treatment, production
processes and effluent treatment
Medical devices other than implantable medical devices will have a 15-year transition period.
Some uses are exempted - these include:
> perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its derivatives
> byproducts formed during the manufacture of C6 fluorochemicals
> photographic coatings applied to films, papers and printing plates
> photolithographic processes for semi-conductors
> firefighting foams placed on the market before the three-year transition
period after entry into force of this Regulation.
