Review: Hydrothermal treatment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
Chemosphere, 2022PER: and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a concerning and unique class of environmentally persistent contaminants with biotoxic effects. Decades of PFAS discharge into water and soil resulted in PFAS bioaccumulation in plants, animals, and humans. PFAS are very stable, and their treatment has become a global environmental challenge.

Epigenetic changes by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
Environmental Pollution, 2021Increasing studies are examining per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) induced toxicity and resulting health outcomes, including epigenetic modifications (e.g., DNA methylation, histone modification, microRNA expression). We critically reviewed current evidence from human epidemiological, in vitro, and animal studies, including mammalian and ...

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): an emerging contaminant
Global NEST International Conference on Environmental Science & Technology, 2022PFAS compounds are ubiquitous in the environment and in consumer products. Unlike other emergent contaminants this is a family of compounds with, literally, thousands of compounds. Our knowledge of toxicological and environmental fate and transport properties is an evolving field. On the other hand, regulatory limits (when they exist) are extremely low

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in livestock and game species: A review
Science of The Total Environment, 2021Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic, organic chemicals that resist environmental breakdown. The properties that made PFAS into an industrial success also led to their persistence and bioaccumulation. As PFAS were widely used for many decades their presence is evident globally, and their persistence and potential for toxicity create

An Integrated Approach for Determination of Total Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
Environmental Science & Technology, 2022Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are difficult to analyze in environmental media due challenges such as extraction recovery and lack of analytical standards. The total oxidizable precursor (TOP) assay and suspect screening analysis coupled with semiquantitative (SQ) concentration estimates are two approaches to assess total PFAS in ...

Occupational exposures to airborne per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—A review
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2023AbstractBackgroundPer‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetically‐made chemicals with diverse functional properties that have become ubiquitous in our environment because of their widespread use. PFAS exposure has been associated with adverse health effects, and it is therefore vital to know how exposure may occur.

Analyzing Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Foods
LCGC North America, 2023Environmental contaminants can affect human and animal health and are thus an issue of concern. Anthony Provatas is a Research Professor and the Organics Laboratory Manager at the University of Connecticut in the Center for Environmental Sciences and Engineering (CESE) of the Institute of the Environment; he is also Program Chair and Board Member of ...

Ecological Considerations of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
Current Pollution Reports, 2017Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been detected around the globe in drinking water, in various media at release sites, in human blood serum, and in non-human biota tissue. These compounds are emerging contaminants due to the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, which is driven by advances in toxicological and risk assessment knowledge ...
