Perfluorohexane (C 6 F 14), or tetradecafluorohexane, is a fluorocarbon.It is a derivative of hexane in which all the hydrogen atoms are replaced by fluorine atoms. It is used in one formulation of the electronic cooling liquid/insulator Fluorinert for low-temperature applications due to its low boiling point of 56 °C and freezing point of −90 °C.
Fluorinert is the trademarked brand name for the line of electronics coolant liquids sold commercially by 3M.As perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), all Fluorinert variants have an extremely high global warming potential (GWP), [1] so should be used with caution (see below).
Data from the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the United States found the average serum concentration of PFHxS in the general US population to be 1.9 μg/L, with the 10th and 90th percentiles being 0.7 and 8.3 μg/L, respectively. Some studies reported serum PFHxS concentrations in the United States to be gradually ...
Global warming potential (GWP) is a measure of how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere over a specific time period, relative to carbon dioxide (CO 2). [1]: 2232 It is expressed as a multiple of warming caused by the same mass of carbon dioxide (CO 2). Therefore, by definition CO 2 has a GWP of 1.
The particles eminating from burning scented wax melts indoors can create a “tremendous amount” of indoor air pollution — similar to pollution caused by diesel engines.
4 October 2019 At the 15th meeting of the United Nation's Stockholm Convention's Persistent Organic Pollutants Review Committee (POPRC-15) held in Rome, on 4 October, over 100 scientific experts representing many countries, "recommended that a group of hazardous chemicals"—"Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), its salts, and PFHxS-related ...
