Afficher plus [+] Moins [-]Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are anthropogenic contaminants of emerging concern that are ubiquitous in the marine environment. This chapter provides recent insights into the main aspects of research on this class of compounds in the oceans. It describes their main uses and predominant sources in the marine environment and provides an update on the analytical procedures fit for marine matrices. Occurrence and processes affecting these compounds in abiotic compartments are addressed, followed by a focus on bioaccumulation and biomagnification in biota. The biological effects in marine organisms are then reviewed per taxa. In agreement with recent literature, recommendations for future research are proposed, which should guide future efforts toward the key environmental questions on PFASs
