ATF4 participates in perfluorooctane sulfonate-induced neurotoxicity by regulating ferroptosis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Evidence from animal and human research suggests that perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a prevalent persistent organic pollutant (POP), exerts neurotoxic effects, but the precise mechanisms remain unclear.

Potential Effects of Prepubertal Exposure to Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid on the First Wave of Folliculogenesis in Young CD‐1 Mice

Birth Defects Research, Volume 118, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) belongs to a group of synthetic chemicals referred to as per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that are known to degrade slowly. Exposure to PFOS has been reported to cause birth defects and disrupt female sex hormone levels in mice.

Designing biochars for improved sorptive removal of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract The widespread occurrence of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aquatic environments, along with their adverse impacts on human health, has been recognized as an emerging issue. Sorption using carbon‐based sorbents is the most common approach for PFAS removal.

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 792-810, May 2026.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Effects of perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid on the zooplanktonic community

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2004
This comparative survey summarizes six individual studies on the ecological effects of two common perfluorinated surfactants, PFOS and PFOA, on zooplankton. We compare the test designs and quantify the relative sensitivity and statistical power (1-beta > or = 0.8).

Microplastic Impacts on Seafood: A Global Synthesis of Experimental Findings

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 591-606, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Plastic pollution is a growing global concern, with plastic and microplastic particles now widespread in aquatic environments. Microplastics are frequently ingested by marine organisms, including commercially important seafood species. Ingestion can lead to a range of biological effects, influenced by the size, type and quantity of plastic, as
