Detection of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) by Interrupted Energy Transfer [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie, 2023 AbstractThe ubiquitous presence of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aqueous environments has aroused societal concern. Nonetheless, effective sensing technologies for continuous monitoring of PFAS within water distribution infrastructures currently do not exist.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in PubChem: 7 million and growing [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2023 Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are of high concern, with calls to regulate these as a class. In 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) revised the definition of PFAS to include any chemical containing at least one saturated CF2 or CF3 moiety.

An overview of the uses of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) [PDF]
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,

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure and thyroid cancer risk
eBioMedicine, 2023 Although per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure is a potential contributor to the increasing thyroid cancer trend, limited studies have investigated the association between PFAS exposure and thyroid cancer in human populations. We therefore investigated associations between plasma PFAS levels and thyroid cancer diagnosis using a nested ...
