Cyclohexanesulfonic acid, decafluoro(trifluoromethyl)-, potassium salt

Production and use of fluorinated surfactants for coatings, metal finishing, and other industrial processes; releases to wastewater, soil, and air [2].

Drinking contaminated water, eating affected fish/wildlife, contact with indoor dust or products, and workplace exposure where PFAS are made or used [1][2].

Data on this specific chemical are limited; however, many PFAS are linked to increased cholesterol, reduced vaccine response, liver/thyroid changes, pregnancy-related hypertension, and some cancers (e.g., PFOA) [1][3].

Workers handling PFAS; people near industrial sites or firefighting‑foam use; private‑well users; pregnant people, infants/children; and those who frequently eat locally caught fish [1][2].

If on a private well, test for PFAS and use certified filters (NSF/ANSI 53 or 58); follow fish advisories; reduce indoor dust (HEPA/wet mopping); check local water reports; follow workplace protections [1][2].
