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 ...

Determinants of serum half-lives for linear and branched perfluoroalkyl substances after long-term high exposure—A study in Ronneby, Sweden

Environment International, 2022
Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent substances with surfactant and repellent properties. Municipal drinking water contaminated with PFAS had been distributed for decades to one third of households in Ronneby, Sweden. The

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 ...

Associations of perfluorooctane sulfonate alternatives and serum lipids in Chinese adults

Environment International, 2021
Background: Chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonic acids (Cl-PFESAs), a group of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) alternatives, can be widely observed in humans and environmental matrices. However, associations between exposure to Cl-PFESAs and serum
