Home-Produced Eggs as Indicators of PFAS Contamination in Food Following a Fire at a Plastic Recycling Plant

Foods
This study evaluated the impact of a fire at a plastic recycling plant in the suburbs of Osijek on the concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in home-produced eggs (HPE) collected from nearby settlements exposed to smoke.

Bacterial degradation of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS)

Introduction: Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly fluorinated synthetic chemicals with a wide variety of uses1,2. The carbon- fluorine bonds exhibit very high bond dissociation energies: around 536 kJ/mol, making PFAS generally resistant to degradation by oxidation, thermal treatment, and biological mechanisms, which has led to their

BINDING OF PERFLUORINATED FATTY ACIDS TO SERUM PROTEINS

, 2003
—Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) accumulates in the liver and blood of exposed organisms. The potential for these surfactant molecules to interfere with hormone/protein interactions in blood is of concern given the importance of these interactions ...

In vitro evaluation of the carcinogenic potential of perfluorinated chemicals

ALTEX: Alternatives to Animal Experimentation
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are the major components of long-chain per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), known for their chemical stability and environmental persistence. Even if PFOA and PFOS have been

Developmental exposure to environmentally relevant PFOS and PFBS disrupts adult behaviour, reproductive fitness, and lipid metabolism in Zebrafish

Environmental Sciences Europe
Background Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent pollutants affecting wildlife and biodiversity. Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and one of its short-chain substitutes, perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (PFBS), are widely found in ...
