Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are environmental contaminants of emerging concern. The temperature dependent gas-solid reaction of four gas-phase PFAS compounds (fluorotelomer alcohols or FTOHS) with calcium oxide is examined. This reaction shows potential as a PFAS disposal method that forms a stable and environmentally friendly end product, calcium fluoride. In addition to monitoring the destruction of the primary PFAS compound, byproducts of the thermal treatment reaction are identified and monitored to determine whether such products of incomplete destruction, which could also be a source of PFAS in the environment, are removed during the treatment process. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Riedel, T., A. Wallace, E. Shields, J. Ryan, C. Lee, and B. Linak. Low Temperature Thermal Treatment of Gas-Phase Fluorotelomer Alcohols by Calcium Oxide. CHEMOSPHERE. Elsevier Science Ltd, New York, NY, USA, 272: 0, (2021).
