Lactational exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate remains a potential risk in brain function of middle-aged male mice

Journal of Physiological Sciences
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) exerts adverse effects on neuronal development in young population. Limited evidences have shown that early-life PFOS exposure holds a potential risk for developing age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’

Enantiospecific Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) Analysis Reveals Evidence for the Source Contribution of PFOS-Precursors to the Lake Ontario Foodweb

, 2016
Exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) may arise directly, from emission and exposure to PFOS itself, or indirectly via the environmental release and degradation of PFOS-precursors.

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 792-810, May 2026.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

The phosphorylation of Smad3 by CaMKIIγ leads to the hepatocyte pyroptosis under perfluorooctane sulfonate exposure

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant and accumulated in the liver of mammals. PFOS exposure is closely associated with the development of pyroptosis. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism is unclear. We found here that PFOS

Microplastic Impacts on Seafood: A Global Synthesis of Experimental Findings

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 591-606, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Plastic pollution is a growing global concern, with plastic and microplastic particles now widespread in aquatic environments. Microplastics are frequently ingested by marine organisms, including commercially important seafood species. Ingestion can lead to a range of biological effects, influenced by the size, type and quantity of plastic, as
