Lipid responses to perfluorooctane sulfonate exposure for multiple rat organs

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent chemical that has long been a threat to human health. However, the molecular effects of PFOS on various organs are not well studied.

Pop, heavy metal and the blues: secondary analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POP), heavy metals and depressive symptoms in the NHANES National Epidemiological Survey [PDF]

, 2014
Persistent environmental pollutants, including heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs), have a ubiquitous presence. Many of these pollutants affect neurobiological processes, either accidentally or by design.

Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) Produces Dopaminergic Neuropathology in Caenorhabditis elegans

Toxicological Sciences, 2019
AbstractPerfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has been widely utilized in numerous industries. Due to long environmental and biological half-lives, PFOS is a major public health concern. Although the literature suggests that PFOS may induce neurotoxicity, neurotoxic mechanisms, and neuropathology are poorly understood.

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.

Effects of a variable air–water interface on injection of PFAS—Lessons learned from column tests with porous media

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Five column experiments were conducted using a mixture of 10 per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) to explore sampling techniques for the PFAS injection solution concentration in order to accurately determine the tracer mass within the experimental system and close the mass balance.

Bottled Water and the Social Sciences: A Review and Agenda for Future Research

Sociology Compass, Volume 20, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Social sciences approach the steady rise of bottled water consumption at the beginning of the 21st century from four analytical vantage points: political economy, semiotics and lifestyle, political ecology, and materiality‐centered. Each analytic has crucial methodological and conceptual contributions to make, as well as zones of potential ...

Bayesian evaluation of a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) to characterize the interspecies uncertainty between mice, rats, monkeys, and humans: Development and performance verification

Environment International, 2019
A challenge in the risk assessment of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is the large interspecies differences in its toxicokinetics that results in substantial uncertainty in the dosimetry and toxicity extrapolation from animals to humans. To address this

Electrochemical Degradation of Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonates via Sulfonate to Carboxylate Conversion

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 7, 9 February 2026.
We demonstrate a novel approach for the degradation of perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs) involving a controlled, electromediated, sulfonate‐to‐carboxylate headgroup conversion. We apply this method to shorter chain PFSAs and provide key mechanistic insights that contribute to a broader understanding of the molecular pathways underlying pollutant ...
