Evaluation of the pollution pressures posed by groups of chemicals on British riverine invertebrate populations

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 106-127, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, rivers receive a diverse range of chemicals, including metals, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, petrochemicals, human and veterinary pharmaceuticals and personal care products. However, the extent to which these different chemical groups affect riverine invertebrate communities is not well defined.

Removal of PFOA and PFOS from water by titanium supported nano silver electrode

矿业科学学报, 2018
In order to solve the problem that Perfluorooctanoic Acid(PFOA) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate(PFOS) in the perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl substances(PFASs) are difficult to be naturally degraded and impossible effectively removed by traditional ...

Prenatal Exposure to Perfluoroalkyl Acids and Serum Testosterone Concentrations at 15 Years of Age in Female ALSPAC Study Participants [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) or to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) increases mouse and human peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor alpha (PPARα) subtype activity, which influences lipid metabolism.

Monthly Variations in Perfluorinated Compound Concentrations in Groundwater

Toxics, 2018
Large-scale manufacturing of poly- and perfluorinated compounds in the second half of the 20th century has led to their ubiquity in the environment, and their unique structure has made them persistent contaminants.

The emergence of persistent organic pollutants in the environment: the occurrence and treatment of perfluorinated compounds [PDF]

, 2011
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are two perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) used to produce everyday goods, including clothing, carpets, textiles, upholstery, paper, packaging and cleaning products.

The VDAC1 oligomerization regulated by ATP5B leads to the NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the liver cells under PFOS exposure

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
As a persistent organic pollutant, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has a serious detrimental impact on human health. It has been suggested that PFOS is associated with liver inflammation. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear.
