AB  - PFAS are a group of organic chemicals, which some presents environmental 
      persistence, dispersion and potential toxicity. Some of them have been listed in 
      the Stockholm Convention as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to have its 
      production and use restricted, namely PFOS, its salts and PFOSF and PFOA, its 
      salts and related substances. As a Party, Brazil has to comply with the 
      Convention provisions regarding the control of POPs. In order to develop listed 
      PFAS inventories in the country, the Convention guidance documents were used. 
      Stakeholders were consulted and trade data was assessed. Complementary, a review 
      on listed PFAS occurrence in Brazil was performed. From over 1000 queries sent, 
      only 3 answers were received. International trade data showed an import of 93.7 
      tonnes of PFOSF from China and export of sulfluramid-base ant bait to other 
      developing countries. Domestic trade data showed that around 28 t per year of 
      EtFOSA is commercialized in Brazil. The EtFOSA sold internally could lead to 
      emissions of up to 616 t of PFOS. With domestic and foreign trade data it was 
      possible to estimate the production of EtFOSA from 2010 to 2018 to 40 t per year. 
      Only 10 studies reported listed PFAS occurrence in Brazilian environmental 
      matrices. All of them reported ubiquitous occurrence of listed PFAS in the 
      country, being PFOS the predominant in terms of occurrence and concentration. 
      Brazil needs to develop strategies to overcome the low engagement of stakeholders 
      and enforce control over listed PFAS foreign trade.
