Electrochemical degradation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using low-cost graphene sponge electrodes. [PDF]

Water Research, 2022
Boron-doped, graphene sponge anode was synthesized and applied for the electrochemical oxidation of C4-C8 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Removal efficiencies, obtained in low conductivity electrolyte (1 mS cm-1) and one-pass flow-through ...

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.

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.

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 ...

PFAS health effects database: Protocol for a systematic evidence map

Environment International, 2019
Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) confer waterproof, greaseproof, and non-stick properties when added to consumer products. They are also used for industrial purposes including in aqueous film forming foams for firefighting. PFAS are

Association of prenatal exposure to perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl substances with childhood neurodevelopment: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Background: Although previous studies have shown an association between prenatal exposure to perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and neurodevelopmental disorders in children, the results have been inconsistent.
