Glycine, N-ethyl-N-[(undecafluoropentyl)sulfonyl]-, potassium salt

Made and used as a specialty surfactant/mist suppressant in industrial settings; releases can occur to wastewater and air during production and use [1][2].

Drinking contaminated water (especially near plating or fluorochemical facilities), workplace inhalation/skin contact, and eating contaminated fish; community exposure can also occur via private wells [1][2].

Specific health data are limited for this compound, but PFAS as a class can build up in people and are linked to higher cholesterol, immune effects, lower birth weight, and some cancers [1][2].

Workers in metal plating/fluorochemical industries; people using private wells near facilities or waste sites; pregnant people, infants, and those who frequently eat locally caught fish where advisories exist [1][2].

Use NSF/ANSI 53 (GAC) or 58 (RO) home filters for drinking water; follow local fish advisories; reduce indoor dust; at work, use ventilation/PPE and training; check your water utility or well for PFAS testing results [2][3].
