A Hexadecacationic Metal–Organic Cage for Anchoring Sulfonates: High‐Order Binding of Di‐ and Trisulfonates and High‐Performance Removal of Perfluorosulfonates from Water

Advanced Science
Developing synthetic hosts capable of binding sulfonate anions or sequestering perfluorosulfonates is highly important. In this work, the self‐assembly of a tripyridinium‐tricarboxylate ligand with Cp2ZrCl2 (Cp = η5‐C5H5) is reported, yielding a highly ...

Estimation of PFOS emission from domestic sources in the eastern coastal region of China

Environment International, 2013
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and related chemicals (collectively “PFOS equivalents”) have been released to the environment through widespread consumer use and disposal of PFOS-containing products like carpet, leather, textiles, paper, food containers,

Modeling the hydrolysis of perfluorinated compounds containing carboxylic and phosphoric acid ester functions, alkyl iodides, and sulfonamide groups [PDF]

, 2009
Temperature dependent rate constants were estimated for the acid- and base-catalyzed and neutral hydrolysis reactions of perfluorinated telomer acrylates (FTAcrs) and phosphate esters (FTPEs), and the SN1 and SN2 hydrolysis reactions of fluorotelomer ...

Cot Statement On Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (Pfos)

, 2014
The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition is reviewing scientific evidence that bears on dietary recommendations for infants and young children. The COT is considering risks that might need to be taken into account. This statement summarises the evidence on risks from PFOS in the infant diet and the conclusions of the COT.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the cardiogenic toxicity of perfluorooctane sulfonate in human embryonic stem cells

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), an endocrine-disrupting chemical pollutant, affects embryonic heart development; however, the mechanisms underlying its toxicity have not been fully elucidated.

The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Mediates the Neurodevelopmental Toxicity of Perfluorooctane Sulfonamide in Zebrafish Larvae

Toxics
Perfluorooctane sulfonamide (PFOSA), the direct precursor to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), is widely present in the environment. Research has indicated that PFOSA is cardiotoxic and hepatotoxic, but its impact on neurodevelopment remains unclear.

Prenatal Exposure to Perfluoroalkyl Acids and Serum Testosterone Concentrations at 15 Years of Age in Female ALSPAC Study Participants [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) or to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) increases mouse and human peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor alpha (PPARα) subtype activity, which influences lipid metabolism.
