Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Hand Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative. [PDF]

Arthritis Rheumatol
Objective To explore whether biologic levels of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS—reflecting the overall effect and accounting for correlations among PFAS—relate to incident hand osteoarthritis (HOA) and progression.

Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances and cardiometabolic diseases: A review

Basic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology, 2023
AbstractPer‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of persistent and widespread environmental pollutants that represent a high concern for human health. They have been shown to be associated with several important physiological processes such as lipid metabolism and the immune system.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure and thyroid cancer risk

eBioMedicine, 2023
Although per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure is a potential contributor to the increasing thyroid cancer trend, limited studies have investigated the association between PFAS exposure and thyroid cancer in human populations. We therefore investigated associations between plasma PFAS levels and thyroid cancer diagnosis using a nested ...

Exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and premature skin aging [PDF]

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2021
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a ubiquitous group of persistent chemicals distributed globally in the environment. Skin aging is a notorious process that is prematurely induced by the interaction between endogenous and exogenous factors, including exposure to environmental chemicals.
