PMTPFAS: Fluorine-Containing Compounds from PMT Suspect Lists

PMTPFAS is a consolidated list of fluorine-containing compounds extracted from three major suspect lists for PMT (persistent, mobile, toxic) substances. The dataset, created by Emma Schymanski at the University of Luxembourg, specifically focuses on entries containing fluorine, though not all are necessarily PFAS. Two salt entries were modified to isolate their fluorine-containing components.

Use Cases

• Suspect screening for PMT substances based on the presence of fluorine.
• Cross-referencing and harmonizing compound entries from the S36, S82, and S84 suspect lists.
• Studying the prevalence and characteristics of fluorine-containing compounds in environmental risk assessment.

Strengths

• Aggregates entries from three established suspect lists: S36 UBAPMT, S82 EAWAGPMT, and S84 UFZHSFPMT.
• Focuses specifically on fluorine-containing compounds, a key feature for environmental screening.
• Has a persistent identifier (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.8417074).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
