Degradation and Ecotoxicity Mitigation of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate by Aeration-Assisted Cold Plasma

Applied Sciences
Various advanced oxidation processes have been used to degrade perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), one of the persistent organic pollutants that dissolves in aquatic ecosystems, but these processes suffer from inherent limitations.

The VDAC1 oligomerization regulated by ATP5B leads to the NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the liver cells under PFOS exposure

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
As a persistent organic pollutant, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has a serious detrimental impact on human health. It has been suggested that PFOS is associated with liver inflammation. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear.
