Perfluorodecanoic acid was used to evaluate the effect of nonadecafluorocapric acid on the levels of six thyroid function variables (thyroid stimulating hormone, free and total thyroxine, free and total triiodothyronine and thyroglobulin).
ChEBI: A fluoroalkanoic acid that is perfluorinated decanoic acid.
PERFLUORODECANOIC ACID is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: Decomposition products of PERFLUORODECANOIC ACID include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen fluoride. It may be harmful by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption.
Flash point data on PERFLUORODECANOIC ACID are not available. PERFLUORODECANOIC ACID is probably combustible.
Poison by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of F-.
