Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Street Sweepings

Environmental Science & Technology, 2021
One hundred and seventeen street sweeping samples were collected and analyzed for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Fifty-six samples were collected in one city (Gainesville, Florida) allowing for an in-depth city-wide characterization. Street sweepings from five other urban areas, (Orlando, n = 15; Key West, n = 15; Pensacola, n = 12; Tampa,

Occurrence and Risks of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Shellfish

Current Environmental Health Reports, 2022
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a diverse class of persistent, fluorinated surfactants used widely in industrial and commercial applications with known adverse health effects. Seafood consumption is thought to be an underappreciated source of PFAS exposure in the general population.

Uptake and accumulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in plants

Chemosphere, 2020
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of persistent organic contaminants that are ubiquitous in the environment and have been found to be accumulated in agricultural products. Consumption of PFAS-contaminated agricultural products represents a feasible pathway for the trophic transfer of these toxic chemicals along food chains/webs ...

Reproductive toxicity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic fluorinated compounds known for their persistence in the environment and widespread presence in consumer products. Human exposure occurs through multiple routes, leading to bioaccumulation in various tissues and significant health concerns, particularly reproductive toxicity.
