Perfluorooctane sulfonate concentrations in amniotic fluid, biomarkers of fetal Leydig cell function, and cryptorchidism and hypospadias in Danish boys (1980–1996) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) may potentially disturb fetal Leydig cell hormone production and male genital development. Objectives: We aimed to study the associations between levels of amniotic fluid PFOS, fetal steroid ...

No association between perfluoroalkyl chemicals and hypertension in children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease worldwide. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are perfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFCs) used in the manufacture of common consumer products and detected in ...

Adsorption of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) on mesoporous carbon nitride

open access: yesRSC Advances, 2013
Mesoporous carbon nitride (MCN-1) has been prepared using mesoporous silica SBA-15 as the template via a polymerization reaction between ethylenediamine and carbon tetrachloride. The structural and surface properties of MCN-1 are evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 ...

Adsorption of Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) onto metal oxides modified biochar

open access: yesEnvironmental Technology & Innovation, 2020
Abstract Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant (POP), which poses potential toxicity to biotic and abiotic ecosystem. Adsorption of PFOS from soil and water has emerged as promising remediation practice due to low cost, high removal performance, low environmental impact, and recalcitrant to induce secondary contamination.

PFAS in paper and board for food contact - options for risk management of poly- and perfluorinated substances [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are used in paper and board food contact materials (FCMs) and they have been found to be highly persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic.

Exposure sources of perfluoroalkyl acids and influence of age and gender on concentrations of chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonates in human serum from China

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2020
The presence of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) and chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonates (Cl-PFAESs) in humans has attracted great attention in recent decades.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a novel environmental pollutant, induces liver injury in mice by activating hepatocyte ferroptosis

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Objective: We investigated the toxicological mechanism by which perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) induces liver injury via ferroptosis. Methods: Primary mouse hepatocytes were treated with LD50 = 55 M PFOS. Their cytotoxicity was detected by CCK-8 and LDH

Sorption of perfluoroalkyl substances in sewage sludge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The sorption behaviour of three perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS)) was studied in sewage sludge samples.

Sorption of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) on Electrospun Fiber Membranes

open access: yesProcedia Environmental Sciences, 2013
AbstractPoly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were used to prepare the electrospun fibers membranes (EFMs) by electrospinning, respectively. These EFMs were used to adsorb perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) from aqueous solution. The sorption kinetics and isotherms of PFOS on EFMs were investigated.
