- Work cat.: LCCN 2016049474. Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) : contaminants of concern, 2017:t.p. (Perfluorinated chemicals; PFCs) ch. 1 (A perfluorinated chemical (PFC) is an organofluorine compound containing only carbon-fluorine bonds (no C-H bonds) and C-C bonds but also other heteroatoms. PFCs have properties that represent a blend of fluorocarbons (containing only C-F and C-C bonds) and the parent functionalized organic species)

National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, information leaflet, July 2016; pdf file viewed Oct. 27:p. 1 (PFCs are a large group of manufactured compounds that are widely used to make everyday products more resistant to stains, grease, and water; PFCs break down very slowly in the environment and are often characterized as persistent)
Wikipedia description:
A perfluorinated compound (PFC) or perfluoro compound is an organofluorine compound that lacks C-H bonds. Many perfluorinated compounds have properties that are quite different from their C-H containing analogues. Common functional groups in PFCs are −OH, perfluoroaldehydes and perfluoroketones =O, −CO−OH, −Cl, −O−, and −SO2−OH. Electrofluorination is the predominant method for PFC production. Due to their chemical stability, some of these perfluorinated compounds bioaccumulate.
