Electron beam(EB) degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate(PFOS) in aqueous solutions was studied. It suggested that PFOA and PFOS degradation followed the pseudo-firstorder kinetics, and degradation rates increased with increasing initial p H. Radical scavengers’ experiments indicated that hydrated electron and hydrogen radical were important in the electron beam degradation of PFOA and PFOS, especially hydrated electron. The decomposition efficiencies were 95.7% for PFOA and 85.9% for PFOS, by EB irradiation in an anoxic alkaline solution(p H = 13).The potential degradation pathways of PFOA and PFOS by electron beam irradiation through defluorination and the removal of CH_2 unit were proposed.
