Occurrence of ultrashort-chain per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the coral reef ecosystem of the Beibu Gulf, South China Sea
Science
15 May 2026 | Environ. Sci. Technol. Lett.
Ultrashort PFAS, especially TFA, were widely found in reef-building corals, suggesting these highly mobile chemicals can accumulate in coral ecosystems and be linked to hazards such as algal growth inhibition and toxicity concerns for aquatic organisms.
