Are perfluorooctane sulfonate alternatives safer? New insights from a birth cohort study
Environment International, 2020 Background: Experimental studies show that chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonic acids (Cl-PFESA 6:2 and 8:2), one of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) used as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) alternatives, are reproductive toxicants in vivo and in ...

Neonatal death of mice treated with perfluorooctane sulfonate
The Journal of Toxicological Sciences, 2008 Pregnant mice exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) causes neonatal death. Ten pregnant ICR mice per group were given 1, 10 or 20 mg/kg PFOS daily by gavage from gestational day (GD) 0 to the end of the study. Five dams per group were sacrificed on GD 18 for prenatal evaluation, the others were left to give birth.

Bottled Water and the Social Sciences: A Review and Agenda for Future Research
Sociology Compass, Volume 20, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Social sciences approach the steady rise of bottled water consumption at the beginning of the 21st century from four analytical vantage points: political economy, semiotics and lifestyle, political ecology, and materiality‐centered. Each analytic has crucial methodological and conceptual contributions to make, as well as zones of potential ...

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 7, 2 February 2026.A systematic study of a series of porous organic cages with perfluorinated alkyl side‐chains of different lengths is presented. The structure‐property relationship of the various cages on gas sorption of highly potent greenhouse gases, such as perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) is investigated.
