Trends in the Regulation of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS): A Scoping Review [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
Products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used for decades in industrial and consumer products. These compounds are persistent in the environment, bioaccumulative, and some are toxic to humans and other animals. Since the early 2000s, laws, policies, and regulations have been implemented to reduce the prevalence of PFAS ...

Serum per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and abnormal lipid metabolism: A nationally representative cross-sectional study

Environment International, 2023
Background: The associations of legacy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with lipid metabolism are controversial, and there is little information about the impact of emerging PFAS (6:2 Cl-PFESA) on lipid metabolism in China. Objectives: We aimed

Hair determination of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Italian population

Toxicology, 2021
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic chemicals present in the environment and defined as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The interest in these forms of contaminants is related to the toxic consequences for health derived from exposures and bioaccumulation processes. The present research aims at assessing differences in the

Intermolecular Interactions, Solute Descriptors, and Partition Properties of Neutral Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) [PDF]

, 2023
The environmental partition properties of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) must be understood for their transport and fate analysis. In this study, isothermal gas chromatographic (GC) retention times of 60 neutral PFAS were measured using four ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and blood pressure in pre-diabetic adults—cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of the diabetes prevention program outcomes study

Environment International, 2020
The relationship of plasma concentration of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with blood pressure (BP) is uncertain. This study examined cross-sectional and prospective associations of PFAS with BP and hypertension.

Integration of ultrashort-chain compounds into the biomonitoring of per- and polyfluorinated substances in human plasma and serum

Journal of Chromatography Open
Ultrashort-chain (USC) per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are small and very polar compounds with carbon chain lengths of shorter than C4. Their ubiquitous and high levels of occurrence in environmental aquatic systems have raised significant ...

Prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and infant growth and adiposity: the Healthy Start Study

Environment International, 2019
Background: Prenatal exposures to certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been linked to lower weight and adiposity at birth but greater weight and adiposity in childhood.

PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS) IN RESIDENTIAL AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSATE [PDF]

, 2022
Many per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are water-soluble which suggests that PFAS in indoor air may partition into air conditioning (AC) condensate.
