Organic carbon-water partition coefficient for anionic species (!!"!!)
Following Tülp et al. (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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,!"!"
!!,!"!! = !!"#$/!"#$,!"!"
!!"#$/!"#$,!"!!
5""
Where the left side of the equation represents the properties for the acidic fluorinated alternatives and the right side represents the properties of the
corresponding legacy PFASs. !!,!"!" and !!"#$/!"#$,!"!" were calculated from the log KOW estimated by COSMOtherm (i.e. Table A2) using the Seth
et al. (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.

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/Å2 (Klamt, 2005), with strong H-bond formation as σ is ≥ ± 1e/Å2. 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 SO3H and CO2H in the non-fluorinated
analogues becomes weaker (< 1e/Å2) and weak H-bonds carried out by ethers and chlorine disappears.

* EF-N has the lowest estimated pKa among the acidic alternatives (-8.03). The large difference in the estimated CTDs and TEs, as shown in the table, is the result of a larger pKa 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 pKa, especially when the pKa is increased to 4 and enters
the environmental pH range. POV is relatively insensitive to changes of pKa. The alternatives that have a
lower estimated half-life in water and an estimated log KAW higher than -2 (see Table A2) become 2 to
4.5 times more mobile than with a pKa lower than 1. Examples are Adona, PFTECA1, PFTECA1, 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 pKa,, while it increases 700 times or more with higher pKa. As a consequence of the protonation of
strong acids when pKa increases, log KOC, which is linked to log KOW, increases and favors partitioning to
suspended particles.

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 priority according to the Monte Carlo analysis and the parameters with high uncertainty. The suggested bioaccumulation studies are defined as priority for the neutral fluorinated alternatives if their estimated log KOW is above 3.5 and if their structure suggest potential internal metabolism. Bioaccumulation studies for all ionic fluorinated alternatives are defined as priority due to the knowledge gap on their proteinophilic behavior.
