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 ...
