The Coalition for PFAS-Free Cooling & Heating is calling on all like-minded companies to join us in demanding a healthier, more sustainable and competitive future for the European HVAC&R industry.
The Coalition for PFAS-Free Cooling & Heating recently hosted a critical online event, “PFAS: A Growing Concern in the HVAC&R Industry,” featuring renowned industry expert Professor Michael Kauffeld. The event
Unlike the U.S. EPA, Maine defines PFAS to include some fluorinated refrigerants, including TFA-producing HFO-1234yf. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not consider f-gases or their degradation product trifluoroacetic
In eight years – by the end of 2032 – HFOs, the latest generation of fluorinated refrigerants, will no longer be a viable refrigerant option, following their predecessors HFCs, HCFCs
Researchers from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign have developed an electrochemical process designed to economically remove up to 86% of ultrashort-chain PFAS trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), an f-gas byproduct, as well
Produced in the atmosphere from HFO-1234yf and other f-gases, trifluoroacetic acid is an omnipresent PFAS with potentially irreversible disruptive effects, the study says. A new study makes the case that
