(2009) s methodology, the organic carbon-water partition coefficient of anionic species (!!!! ) was calculated for the 10 acidic fluorinated alternatives presented in this work. Because the functional group is one of the parameters determining!! (Ahrens et al.,!! 2011),!! of acidic alternatives containing carboxylate or sulfonate were derived from PFOA and PFOS respectively. Even though EF-N had a different functional group than the other acidic fluorinated alternatives, PFOS was also used to calculate its!!!! since its structure contains sulfonamides. The ratios between the organic carbon-water partition coefficient of the neutral species (!!! ) and!!!! of both PFOA and PFOS were then used to calculate!!!! of the corresponding acidic fluorinated alternatives following this relationship:! 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,!!! =!!!#$/!#$,!!!,!!!!!#$/!#$,! 4

(1999) equation: 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =!! *0.35!!!!#$/!#$,!!! was taken from the work of Higgins and Luthy (2006) who measured a!! of 2.11 l/kg for PFOA and 2.68 l/kg for PFOS at ph 7.5!!! and 6.5 respectively. Using Equation 1, the estimated ratios between!! and!! are 542 for PFOA and 1968 for PFOS. 5

11 The local polarization charge-density, σ, occurring at the molecular surface determines the interaction energies between two molecules. COSMOtherm provides for each molecule a σ-profile depicting the amount of surface in the molecule, p(σ), corresponding to a given σ-value. The formation of H-bonds starts when σ is ± 0,79 e/å 2 (Klamt, 2005), with strong H-bond formation as σ is ± 1e/Å 2. Negative σ- values correspond to positively polar regions (H-bond donor) while positive σ-values indicate a negatively polarization (H-bond acceptor). Non-polar molecule with dominating Van der Waals forces have a pic at σ = 0. The presence of fluorine atoms in the molecule decreases the surface area that is polar as well as the charge density of the polar moieties. Strong H-bonds observed for SO 3 H and CO 2 H in the non-fluorinated analogues becomes weaker (< 1e/Å 2 ) and weak H-bonds carried out by ethers and chlorine disappears. 11

The large difference in the estimated CTDs and TEs, as shown in the table, is the result of a larger pk a gap between the SPARC value and the arbitrary values -1 and 4 compared to the other acidic alternatives. CTD and TE are highly sensitive to changes in pk a, especially when the pk a is increased to 4 and enters the environmental ph range. P OV is relatively insensitive to changes of pk a. The alternatives that have a lower estimated half-life in water and an estimated log K AW higher than -2 (see Table A2) become 2 to 4.5 times more mobile than with a pk a lower than 1. Examples are Adona, PFTECA 1, PFTECA 1, EEA, F- 53 and F-53B. Since these substances partition preferably in air as they become neutral, they are transported more rapidly than if distributed to water. Also, when the degradation half-life is higher in air than in water, the molecules are able to cover larger distances before being degraded. TE decreases with lower pk a,, while it increases 700 times or more with higher pk a. As a consequence of the protonation of strong acids when pk a increases, log K OC, which is linked to log K OW, increases and favors partitioning to suspended particles. 12

13 Table A9. Comparison with the legacy PFASs and suggestions on future experimental studies for each of the fluorinated substances. Suggested experimental studies on environmental fate are defined as according to the Monte Carlo analysis and the parameters with high uncertainty. The suggested bioaccumulation studies are defined as for the neutral fluorinated alternatives if their estimated log K OW is above 3.5 and if their structure suggest potential internal metabolism. Bioaccumulation studies for all ionic fluorinated alternatives are defined as due to the knowledge gap on their proteinophilic behavior.

HA(aq) H + (aq) + A (aq) We can write an equilibrium constant expression for this dissociation: [ ][ ] 16.6 Weak Acids Weak acids are only partially ionized in aqueous solution. There is a mixture of ions and un-ionized acid in solution. Therefore, weak acids are in equilibrium: Or: HA(aq) + H 2 O(l) H

75. A This is a Markovnikov addition reaction. In these reactions, the pielectrons in the alkene act as a nucleophile. The strongest electrophile will 71. B SN2 stands for substitution nucleophilic bimolecular. This means that there is a bimolecular rate-determining step. Therefore, the reaction will follow second-order kinetics based on the collision
