Concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and their associations with human semen quality measurements [PDF]

, 2012
A total of 256 men were studied to evaluate whether serum concentrations of perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) impacted semen quality or reproductive hormones. Blood and semen were collected and analyzed for perfluorochemicals

The toxicity of perfluoroalkyl acids in zebrafish (Danio rerio) [PDF]

, 2013
Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are globally distributed synthetic chemicals. Their unique properties make them widely used, in industry and elsewhere. These are a group of compounds with varying carbon chain lengths and functional groups.

Mitochondrial iron overload mediated by cooperative transfer of plasma membrane ATP5B and TFR2 to mitochondria triggers hepatic insulin resistance under PFOS exposure

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
In general populations, insulin resistance (IR) is related to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a persistent organic pollutant. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, PFOS induced mitochondrial iron accumulation in the liver of

Serum PFAS in Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Firefighters From Six U.S. Airport Fire Departments

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 7, Page 512-524, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Use of aqueous film‐forming foam (AFFF) is a source of exposure to per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for firefighters working in aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) settings. However, data characterizing the association between serum PFAS concentrations and exposure risk factors for ARFF firefighters are limited ...

Partitioning of perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctane sulfonamide (PFOSA) between water and sediment

, 2011
Laboratory partitioning experiments were conducted to elucidate the sorption behaviour and partitioning of perfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs). Three different sediment types were used and separately spiked with perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), perfluorooctane ...

PFAS properties and destruction methods: A focus on enzymatic degradation

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 1126-1152, June 2026.
Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known as ‘forever’ chemicals and have lasting detrimental impact on the environment and living organisms. To understand PFAS molecules better, this review begins with an overview of PFAS definition, classifications and applications, and then provides a comprehensive summary and critical analysis ...

PFAS Forensics, Part 1: Identifying Source‐Specific Signatures

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 82-90, Summer 2026.
Abstract Environmental forensics employs a variety of analytical tools and techniques to evaluate contamination sources and assess the scope and impact of contamination in environmentally relevant media. The key questions for an environmental forensics analysis are where, when and how contamination occurred.
