Fluorinated Hypercrosslinked Polymers with Exceptional Capacity for Perfluorooctanoic Acid Removal from Water

Small, EarlyView.
Fluorinated hypercrosslinked polymers (FHCPs) are reported as highly efficient sorbents for the rapid removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from water. The materials integrate strong fluorophilic interactions, extensive porosity, and excellent chemical stability, delivering fast adsorption kinetics, high uptake capacity, and selective PFOA removal ...

Multistressor Interaction of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) and Temperature in Two Estuarine Fish Species, Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) and Sheepshead Minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), is characterized by a long, fluorinated carbon chain which makes it ideal for oil‐ and water‐repellent products but detrimental for the environment, where it persists and accumulates in organisms.
