Oxidative stress and apotosis to zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos exposed to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and ZnO nanoparticles [PDF]
Objectives: Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are frequently detected in the environment but few studies have assessed the joint toxicity of them.

ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals used in a variety of consumer and industrial applications for their water‐ and oil‐resistant properties. Firefighters can be exposed to PFAS as part of their job through gear, aqueous film‐forming foams (AFFFs) used to extinguish aircraft and liquid fuel fires, along with ...

Determination of Perfluorooctanoic Acid and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate in Water Samples from Sungai Langat, Malaysia [PDF]
Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are non-degradable and persistent compounds, bioacculumative and possess toxic characterictics. The compounds are produced in large quantities, applied and disposed without proper monitoring and regulation within the last ...

Nanomaterials' Multigenerational Effects by Single and Joint Exposure in Non‐mammalian Models
ABSTRACT Nanotoxicology has mainly focused on single‐generation studies, leaving multigenerational toxicity underexplored. Having animal welfare recently gained importance, we aimed to provide the state‐of‐the‐art of knowledge about multigenerational effects in non‐mammalian models in the case of nanomaterials (NM) single and joint exposure to other ...

Iron Homeostasis and Liver Diseases
ABSTRACT Iron is an essential micronutrient whose ability to cycle between ferric (Fe3+) and ferrous (Fe2+) states makes it crucial for physiological processes, including oxygen transport, DNA synthesis, and oxidative phosphorylation. However, because both deficiency and excess can cause severe pathology, precise regulation is critical. The liver plays

Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on frozen paste from blanched, whole migratory locusts (Locusta migratoria) as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF is produced from farmed sub‐adult L. migratoria, which

Are perfluorooctane sulfonate alternatives safer? New insights from a birth cohort study
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 ...

Silica Coating Enhances the PFAS Photocatalytic Properties of Boron Nitride
A coating of 6 wt% SiO2 effectively covered the edges of BN, which lowered BN hydrolysis and increased PFOA photodegradation. ABSTRACT Boron nitride (BN) has recently emerged as a promising material capable of breaking down toxic perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and other per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) through photocatalysis. However, chemical

Perfluorooctanoate and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate Concentrations in Surface Water in Japan
Perfluorooctanoate and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate Concentrations in Surface Water in Japan: Norimitsu Saito, et al. Institute for Environmental Sciences and Public Health of Iwate Prefecture—Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are synthetic surfactants used in Japan. An epidemiological study of workers exposed to PFOA revealed
