Managing and treating per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in membrane concentrates [PDF]

AWWA Water Science, 2021
AbstractPer‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are present in many waters, have detrimental impacts on human health and the environment. Reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) have shown excellent PFAS separation performance in water treatment; however, these membrane systems do not destroy PFAS but produce concentrated residual ...

Estimation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) half-lives in human studies: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Environmental Research, 2023
BACKGROUND Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) constitute a heterogeneous group of synthetic compounds widely used in industrial applications. The estimation of PFAS half-life (t1/2) is essential to quantify their persistence, their toxicity and ...

Associations between Exposures to Perfluoroalkyl Substances and Diabetes, Hyperglycemia, or Insulin Resistance: A Scoping Review

Journal of Xenobiotics, 2021
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent environmental pollutants that are commonly found in the human body due to exposures via drinking water, surfactants used in consumer materials, and aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs).

Detection of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) by Interrupted Energy Transfer

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.

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

Historical and current usage of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): A literature review.

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2022
BACKGROUND Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have uniquely useful chemical and physical properties, leading to their extensive industrial, commercial, and consumer applications since at least the 1950s.

In vitro activity of a panel of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), fatty acids, and pharmaceuticals in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha, PPAR gamma, and estrogen receptor assays.

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 2022
Data demonstrate numerous per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), however, additional work is needed to characterize PFAS activity on PPAR gamma (PPARγ) and other nuclear receptors. We

A Review on Removal and Destruction of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) by Novel Membranes

Membranes, 2022
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic chemicals consisting of thousands of individual species. PFAS consists of a fully or partly fluorinated carbon–fluorine bond, which is hard to break and requires a high amount of energy (536 kJ/

Bioaccumulation and trophic magnification of emerging and legacy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a St. Lawrence River food web.

Environmental Pollution, 2022
Research on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in freshwater ecosystems has focused primarily on legacy compounds and little is still known on the presence of emerging PFAS.

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
