Fetal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water and congenital malformations: A nation-wide register-based study on PFAS in drinking water

Environment International
Background: Teratogenic properties of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been assessed in a few studies, however, epidemiological evidence for an association is inconclusive.

Association between urinary per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances and COVID-19 susceptibility

Environment International, 2021
Background and Objective: The growing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the urgency of identifying individuals most at risk of infection. Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are manufactured fluorinated chemicals widely used in many

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 ...

Exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Risk of Psoriasis: A Population-Based Study

Toxics
PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been reported to be associated with adverse health outcomes. However, the relationship of PFAS exposure with psoriasis risk has not been reported. Utilizing data from the 2003–2018 NHANES, we explored the

Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on bench‐top nanomolding of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with optimized silicone oil content, we developed hierarchically structured silicone films by essentially combining the properties of the lotus and pitcher plant; particularly we are able to achieve water contact angle as high as 171° and ice adhesion strength as low as 11.5 kPa (i.e ...

Self‐Healing Starch‐Based Ionogels with Hydroneutral Dipole–Dipole Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces starch‐based, conductive, underwater‐healable, and transparent ionogels for soft electronics (SCUTEs). Starch macromolecules are partially substituted with cyanoethyl groups and incorporated with hydrophobic ionic liquid. The polar yet hydroneutral cyanoethyl groups facilitate strong dynamic dipole–dipole interactions that remain ...

Cardiometabolic health and per and polyfluoroalkyl substances in an Inuit population

Environment International, 2023
Introduction: The cardiometabolic health status of Inuit in Nunavik has worsened in the last thirty years. The high concentrations of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) may be contributing to this since PFAAs have been linked with hypercholesterolemia ...
