Immunotoxicity of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: Insights into Short-Chain PFAS Exposure

Toxics, 2021
Novel per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were recently identified in drinking water sources throughout North Carolina. These include the perfluoroether acids (PFEAs) perfluoro-2-methoxyacetic acid (PFMOAA), perfluoro-2-methoxypropanoic acid ...

Industrial Sources of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) to a Sewershed in Ontario, Canada

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023
Abstract Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous in the environment despite global regulatory action to reduce or restrict their use in industrial processes and products. Fourteen PFAS were analyzed in effluents from four sectors; electroplaters (3), laundry and carpet cleaners (2), landfill leachate (2), and circuit board ...
