This presentation will summarize our recent progress on the elucidation of structure-reactivity relationships for the reductive and oxidative degradation of major PFAS categories (e.g., perfluorocarboxylic acids, perfluorosulfonic acids, fluorotelomeric acids, and perfluoroether carboxylic acids) in various chain-lengths. Reaction mechanisms and pathways are elucidated through PFAS degradation kinetics, theoretical calculations, and transformation product analyses. This talk will also discuss some previously proposed and frequently cited reaction mechanisms that are different from our experimental findings.
