Investigating PFAS use and emissions to air in the refining sector – a literature review

This report, commissioned by Concawe and prepared by Logika Group, presents the findings of a literature review to investigate and characterise the use and resultant potential emissions to air of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the refining sector. The study aims to provide insights into the types and quantities of PFAS used in the sector, associated potential atmospheric emissions, available measurement techniques, and suitable dispersion modelling approaches for impact assessments. It does not consider use cases in other sectors or emissions to other environmental media e.g., to water or land.
