Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in Chinese surface waters: A review

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
The contamination of surface waters in China with Per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFASs) has been extensively studied in recent decades, however, almost all studies have been conducted in small areas and/or limited samples, which are not representative of the ...

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

Arthritis Rheumatol
Objective To examine whether concentrations of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS relate to incident knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and knee pain progression. Methods Among a case‐cohort sample from the OA Initiative (n = 1,878), we examined associations of serum concentrations of eight PFAS with odds of developing ...

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).

An overview of the uses of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)

Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts, 2020
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are of concern because of their high persistence (or that of their degradation products) and their impacts on human and environmental health that are known or can be deduced from some well-studied PFAS. Currently, many different PFAS (on the order of several thousands) are used in a wide range of applications,

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.

Neonatal per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance exposure in relation to retinoblastoma

Environmental Research, 2023
Neonatal per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposure can disrupt hormonal homeostasis and induce neuro- and immunotoxicity in children. In this exploratory study, we investigated associations between PFAS levels in neonatal dried blood spots and retinoblastoma risk.This study included 501 retinoblastoma cases born from 1983 to 2011 and 899 ...
