The association between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and biological aging among middle and older age adults: The moderating effect of caffeine

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are pervasive environmental pollutants associated with aging-related diseases and mortality risks, yet their relationship with biological aging remains underexplored. Notably, dietary antioxidants like

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Filtration and electrical membrane-based treatment methods for PFAS-contaminated water and preparation methods for the membranes employed

Applied Water Science
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) constitute a group of emerging contaminants. These contaminants are difficult to degrade, making long-term exposure to PFAS harmful to health.

The Epidemiological Landscape and Burden of Chronic Disease in Australia: Contextualizing the Distinct Profile of Tasmania

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic diseases are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide and impose a substantial and long‐lasting burden on individuals, families, communities, and healthcare systems. In Australia, more than 47% of the population had at least one chronic condition in 2018, and the prevalence rose sharply with age: approximately 80% of ...

Forever Chemicals, Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), in Lubrication

Lubricants
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals, exhibit exceptional chemical stability and resistance to environmental degradation thanks to their strong C-F bonds and nonpolar nature.

3D printing of fluorine‐free omniphobic surfaces

Droplet, EarlyView.
Our work demonstrates that the simple and inexpensive digital light processing three‐dimensional printing can be used to fabricate micropillar arrays with doubly reentrant and triply reentrant features. The printed fluorine‐free surfaces display omniphobicity and resist the wetting of liquids with a wide range of surface tensions.

Toward Safer and Sustainable Lithium Metal Batteries: Fluorine‐Free Solid Polymer Electrolytes

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
An analysis to assess the impact of fluorine in polymer electrolyte‐based lithium metal batteries has been conducted. It has been demonstrated that fluorine‐free LiTIM salt delivers a electrochemical performance similar to that of its fluorinated analogue salts, given the complete lithium dissociation in coordination with PEO and the restricted anion ...

Chemically Modular, Nonfluorinated Polymer Adsorbents for Capturing Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Nonfluorinated polymer networks for PFAS adsorption are synthesized using active ester click chemistry. Incorporating Lewis base ligands along with hydrophilic and hydrophobic co‐monomers leads to high PFOA binding efficiency. Ligand basicity and pH are found to play an important role in PFOA sorption.
