Description
Trifluoracetic acid (TFA) is a small, hydrophilic, non-degradable molecule that has been detected in diverse environmental media, from precipitation, surface water, groundwater, ice cores, air, soils and sediments to human serum and plant-based foods and drinking water [1]. TFA is irreversibly increasing across many environmental compartments, where it may cross a threshold concentration that will cause severe harm to ecosystems or human health. Here we present the case that TFA poses a planetary boundary threat.
