This class of substances was considered a priority on the basis that scientific evidence to date indicates that the other groups of PFAS, including those used to replace regulated PFAS (that is, perfluorooctane sulfonate [PFOS] and its salts and precursors, perfluorooctanoic acid [PFOA] and its salts and precursors, and long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids [LC-PFCAs] and their salts and precursors), may also be associated with environmental or human health effects. This report and its conclusion are intended to inform decision-making on PFAS as a class in Canada. …"--Introduction, page 7.
