PFOS: perfluorooctane sulfonic acid PFOA: perfluorooctanoic acid PFNA: perfluorononanoic acid PFHxS: perfluorohexane sulfonic acid For PFOS, PFOA, PFNA, PFHxS and their sum, the maximum level refers to the sum of linear and branched stereoisomers, whether they are chromatographically separated or not. For the sum of PFOS, PFOA, PFNA and PFHxS, maximum levels refer to lower bound concentrations, which are calculated on the assumption that all the values below the limit of quantification are zero. |
