A Review: Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances—Biological Degradation

Toxics, 2023
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), highly stable synthetic organic compounds with multiple carbon-fluorine bonds, are emerging as environmental contaminants, toxic, bioaccumulative, and environmentally persistent.

Toxicity of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances to Nematodes

Toxics, 2023
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of compounds that persist in the environment globally. Besides being transported to the soil and sediments, which act as their sinks, PFASs can be transferred to several species of higher organisms ...

Non-Targeted Analysis of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Blue Crab [PDF]

Foods
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent environmental contaminants, yet food safety assessments target only a limited subset despite the presence of numerous, often unidentified, compounds in food matrices.

Perfluoroalkylated Substances (PFAS) Associated with Microplastics in a Lake Environment

Toxics, 2021
The presence of both microplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is ubiquitous in the environment. The ecological impacts associated with their presence are still poorly understood, however, these contaminants are extremely persistent ...

Serum per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and abnormal lipid metabolism: A nationally representative cross-sectional study

Environment International, 2023
Background: The associations of legacy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with lipid metabolism are controversial, and there is little information about the impact of emerging PFAS (6:2 Cl-PFESA) on lipid metabolism in China. Objectives: We aimed

Thermochemistry of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances

Journal of Computational Chemistry, 2022
AbstractThe determination of gas phase thermochemical properties of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is central to understanding the long‐range transport behavior of PFAS in the atmosphere. Prior gas‐phase studies have reported the properties of perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorinated octanoic acid (PFOA).
