Occurrence, fate, and remediation for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in sewage sludge: A comprehensive review

Journal of Hazardous Materials
Addressing per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination is an urgent environmental concern. While most research has focused on PFAS contamination in water matrices, comparatively little attention has been given to sludge, a significant by ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure in the U.S. population: NHANES 1999-March 2020. [PDF]

Environ Res
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals” because of their persistence in the environment, have been used in many commercial applications since the 1940s. Of late, the detection of PFAS in drinking water throughout the

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer products: Current knowledge and research gaps

Journal of Hazardous Materials Letters, 2023
While several sources of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known, their use in consumer household products is far less explored. The aim of this study was to provide comprehensive bottom-up analysis of the types and concentrations of PFAS ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): immunotoxicity at the primary sites of exposure. [PDF]

Crit Rev Toxicol
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent synthetic chemicals widely used in industrial and consumer products, leading to environmental contamination and human exposure. This review focuses on perfluoroalkyl acids, a subset of PFAS, which are primarily encountered through diet, including drinking water, and other pathways such as dust ...

Essential Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Our Society of the Future. [PDF]

Molecules
Per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are man-made compounds involved in compositions of many industrial processes and consumer products. The largest-volume man-made PFAS are made up of refrigerants and fluoropolymers. Major concerns for our society related to these substances are their contribution to global warming as greenhouse gasses and the ...

Systematic Evidence Map for the Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Universe. [PDF]

Environ Health Perspect
Background: Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a research priority for the US EPA. Because PFAS include thousands of structurally diverse chemicals, there is a pressing need for identifying what data are available to assess human health hazard of these compounds.

Multidimensional library for the improved identification of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). [PDF]

Sci Data
Abstract As the occurrence of human diseases and conditions increase, questions continue to arise about their linkages to chemical exposure, especially for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Currently, many chemicals of concern have limited experimental information available for their use in analytical assessments.
