Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Knee Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
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 ...

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.

Sorption of perfluoroalkyl substances in sewage sludge [PDF]

, 2017
The sorption behaviour of three perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS)) was studied in sewage sludge samples.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Human gut bacteria bioaccumulate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances

Nature Microbiology
Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent pollutants that pose major environmental and health concerns. While few environmental bacteria have been reported to bind PFAS, the interaction of PFAS with human-associated gut bacteria is unclear.

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.
