В данном исследовании представлен всесторонний анализ загрязнения окружающей среды ПФАС. Анализ опубликованных научных работ показал, что ПФАС обладают исключительной устойчивостью к химической, биоло-гической и фотолитической деградации, проявляют значительную подвижность в воде и могут распространяться на большие расстояния.

ПФАС известны как «вечные химические вещества» с периодом полураспада в тысячи лет. ПФАС загрязняют поверхностные водные источники и могут накапливаться в почве и воздухе.

Выявление и анализ их концентраций в окружающей среде имеют решающее значение из-за их чрезвычайно широкого распространения в природных местообитаниях, представляющих опасность для здоровья населения и целостности экосистемы.

Обзор литературных источников показал, что в Казахстане не проводились исследования по этой проблеме. Обзор литературы выявил полное отсутствие публикаций по исследованиям ПФАС. Материалы, представленные на сайтах казахстанских информационных агентств, лишь отражают результаты исследований зарубежных ученых, изучающих ПФАС в окружающей среде и биоматериалах, что отражает глобальную проблему загрязнения ПФАС.

Предпосылками для данного направления исследований являются недостаток публикаций в Казахстане, отсутствие мониторинга ПФАС, отсутствие систематических исследований, в том числе зарубежных, а также отсутствие разнообразных методов определения ПФАС в объектах окружающей среды, что требует пристального научного внимания и изучения.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of PFAS contamination in the environment. An analysis of published scientific papers has shown that PFAS are exceptionally resistant to chemical, biological, and photolytic degradation, exhibit significant mobility in water, and can be dispersed across long distances.

PFAS are known as «forever chemicals» with half-lives of thousands of years. PFAS contaminate surface water sources and can accumulate in soil and air.

Detecting and analyzing their concentrations in the environment is crucial due to their extremely prevalent presence in natural habitats, presenting risks to public health and the integrity of the ecosystem.

A review of literature sources revealed that no studies of this problem have been conducted in Kazakhstan. This paper revealed a complete lack of publications on PFAS studies. The materials presented on the websites of Kazakhstani news agencies merely reflect the results of research by foreign scientists studying PFAS in the environment and biomaterials, reflecting the global problem of PFAS contamination.

The prerequisites for this area of research are the lack of publications in Kazakhstan, the lack of PFAS monitoring, the lack of systematic studies, including foreign ones, as well as the lack of various methods for determining PFAS in environmental objects, and this requires close scientific attention and study.
