Perinatal exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate affects glucose metabolism in adult offspring. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are globally present in the environment and are widely distributed in human populations and wildlife. The chemicals are ubiquitous in human body fluids and have a long serum elimination half-life.

Isomer-specific binding affinity of perfluoroalkyl substances with red blood cells
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safetys: Wide presence of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in human blood has attracted great attention. Interactions of PFASs with serum proteins have been well investigated, but with red blood cells (RBCs), a nonnegligible cellular constituent of blood ...

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.

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 12, 16 March 2026.A molecular cage exhibits strong entropy‐driven encapsulation of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), accommodating up to four short‐chain guests as anionic aggregates. Guided by these molecular‐level insights, a novel host‐in‐host adsorbent is developed: mesoporous silica doped with 1 wt% cage achieves >98% removal of short‐ and long‐chain PFAS with full
