Sorption of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) on Electrospun Fiber Membranes [PDF]

, 2013
Poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were used to prepare the electrospun fibers membranes (EFMs) by electrospinning, respectively. These EFMs were used to adsorb perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) from aqueous solution.

PFAS properties and destruction methods: A focus on enzymatic degradation

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 1126-1152, June 2026.
Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known as ‘forever’ chemicals and have lasting detrimental impact on the environment and living organisms. To understand PFAS molecules better, this review begins with an overview of PFAS definition, classifications and applications, and then provides a comprehensive summary and critical analysis ...

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 ...

Perfluorooctanoate and perfluorooctane sulfonate in South African river water

Water Science and Technology, 2013
This study examined the prevalence of perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in river water samples (n = 56) and suspended solids (n = 5) from three major Western Cape rivers, in South Africa. Solid phase extraction (SPE) followed by liquid chromatography combined with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) using an ...
