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,

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 ...
