Perfluorooctane sulfonate affects intestinal immunity against bacterial infection
Scientific Reports, 2017 Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is an environmental contaminant that has been manufactured to be used as surfactants and repellents in industry. Due to long half-life for clearance and degradation, PFOS is accumulative in human body and has potential ...

Mass Budget of Perfluorooctane Surfactants in Lake Ontario [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2005 Perfluorooctane surfactants have been reported in biota, water, and air samples worldwide. Despite these reports, the main environmental sources of these compounds remain undefined. To address this gap in knowledge, an annual lake-wide mass budget of eight perfluorooctane surfactants was developed for Lake Ontario.

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Hand Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative. [PDF]
Arthritis RheumatolObjective To explore whether biologic levels of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS—reflecting the overall effect and accounting for correlations among PFAS—relate to incident hand osteoarthritis (HOA) and progression.

Electrochemical Degradation of Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonates via Sulfonate to Carboxylate Conversion. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglWe demonstrate a novel approach for the degradation of perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs) involving a controlled, electromediated, sulfonate‐to‐carboxylate headgroup conversion. We apply this method to shorter chain PFSAs and provide key mechanistic insights that contribute to a broader understanding of the molecular pathways underlying pollutant ...

Chorioretinal Toxicity of Perfluorooctane (Ala Octa) [PDF]
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2020 Purpose: To compare outcomes of patient who underwent surgery using perfluorooctane (PFO; C8F18; Ala Octa) with those who underwent surgery with perfluorodecalin (F-Decalin). Design: Retrospective, consecutive, comparative, interventional case series. Methods: A total of 48 eyes that underwent vitrectomy with PFO were compared to 29 eyes that underwent

A metabolomic investigation of serum perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoate
Environment International, 2023 Background: Exposures to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), environmentally persistent chemicals detectable in the blood of most Americans, have been associated with several health outcomes.
