Stress response and tolerance to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in lettuce (Lactuca sativa)

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2021
Comprehensive understanding of stress response and tolerance to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in plants at physiological, biochemical and molecular levels is scarce. Here, lettuce was cultivated in hydroponic media, to investigate the cross-talk among reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, oxidative damage, antioxidative defense and metabolic ...

Uptake of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) by wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plant

Chemosphere, 2013
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a highly persistent organic pollutant which has raised many concerns in recent years. Research focusing on plant uptake of PFOS is very necessary when considering its risk of transfer from soil into food chain. In this work, the uptake of PFOS by wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) which is the most main food crop in ...

Toxic effects of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plant

Chemosphere, 2010
Toxic effects of different concentrations (0.1-200mgL(-1)) of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) on wheat (Triticumaestivum L.) were investigated using the growing and developmental indexes of wheat, including length and biomass of roots and leaves, chlorophyll, soluble protein, peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the seedlings and ...

Mechanistic understanding of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) sorption by biochars

Chemosphere, 2023
Biochar has recently emerged as a cost-effective solution to combat per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pollution in water, but mechanistic understanding of which physicochemical properties of biochars dictate PFAS sorptive removal from water remains elusive. Herein, 15 biochars were pyrolyzed from five feedstocks (corn, Douglas fir, eucalyptus,

Sorption of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) on marine sediments

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2012
Sorption of anionic perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) on marine sediment was investigated in detail. It was found that solution ionic composition and sediment-specific parameters played important roles in affecting the sorption of PFOS. The results indicated that sorption of PFOS in seawater to marine sediments was strong (≈ 10 times higher than that in

Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) Negatively Impacts Prey Capture Capabilities in Larval Zebrafish

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2023
Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used in many industrial and domestic applications, which has resulted in unintentional human exposures and bioaccumulation in blood and other organs. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is among the most prevalent PFAS in the environment and has been postulated to affect brain ...

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) induced embryotoxicity and disruption of cardiogenesis

Toxicology in Vitro, 2013
Prenatal exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is correlated with birth defects and adverse health effects. However, the mechanisms remain largely unknown. In current study, the embryonic stem cell test (EST) was performed to evaluate the embryotoxicity of PFOS, and embryonic stem cells (ESCs)-derived cardiomyocytes were used as a model of the ...

Thyroid disruption by perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA)

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2016
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) are two fluorinated compounds widely used in industry because of their useful chemical characteristics. They were identified as endocrine disruptors due to their ability to interfere with thyroid function.

PFOS or PreFOS? Are perfluorooctane sulfonate precursors (PreFOS) important determinants of human and environmental perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) exposure?

Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 2010
The extent to which perfluorooctanesulfonate precursors (PreFOS) play a role in human or environmental exposure to perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is not well characterized. The diversity of manufactured PreFOS and its degradation products (e.g. C8F17SO2R and C8F17SO2NR0R00, where R is H or F, and R0 and R00 are various) has made it difficult to track ...
