Research on Restriction Regulations and Detection Techniques for Perfluorinated and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesPerfluorinated and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are substances represented by perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), which have excellent thermal and chemical stability, and are persistent organic pollutants (POPS ...

Reductive defluorination of aqueous perfluorinated alkyl surfactants : effects of ionic headgroup and chain length [PDF]
, 2009 Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) are distributed throughout the environment. In the case of perfluorinated alkyl carboxylates and sulfonates, they can be classified as persistent organic pollutants since they are resistant to environmentally relevant ...

Neuroendocrine effects of perfluorooctane sulfonate in rats. [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 2003 Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a degradation product of sulfonyl-based fluorochemicals that are used extensively in industrial and household applications. Humans and wildlife are exposed to this class of compounds from several sources. Toxicity tests in rodents have raised concerns about potential developmental, reproductive, and systemic effects ...

PFOS induces behavioral alterations, including spontaneous hyperactivity that is corrected by dexamfetamine in zebrafish larvae [PDF]
, 2014 Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a widely spread environmental contaminant. It accumulates in the brain and has potential neurotoxic effects. The exposure to PFOS has been associated with higher impulsivity and increased ADHD prevalence.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.PFOA exposure induces pregnancy loss by promoting glutaminolysis, which further causes ammonia accumulation in macrophages. Cellular ammonia retention results in damage to mitochondria and lysosomes, which leads to cell death eventually. Impaired lysosomes also decrease the secretion of the Cathepsin B (CTSB), and attenuate macrophage infiltration and ...
