Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Knee Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative [PDF]
Objective To examine whether concentrations of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS relate to incident knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and knee pain progression. Methods Among a case‐cohort sample from the OA Initiative (n = 1,878), we examined associations of serum concentrations of eight PFAS with odds of developing ...

Biosolids in Washington State: Putting per‐ and poly‐fluorinated alkyl substances concerns into a real‐world context [PDF]
Abstract Washington State has a history of beneficial use of municipal biosolids. The Department of Ecology recently conducted a voluntary survey of per‐ and poly‐fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in biosolids. Results of that survey are presented and compared with the results from mandatory sampling in Michigan.

The accurate determination of Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) removal efficiency by integrated-sonochemical system [PDF]
Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) is one of the most investigated Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for being the strongest compound to eliminate and having adverse health concerns. In this work, we have conducted the sonochemical treatment of

Temporal Trend of Serum Perfluorooctanoic Acid and Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid among U.S. Adults with or without Comorbidities in NHANES 1999-2018. [PDF]
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are associated with adverse health effects. This study examined the trend of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) levels in individuals with and without pre-existing ...

Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid impairs spermatogenesis via the liver-gut microbiota-testis axis: a central role of chenodeoxycholic acid metabolism [PDF]
Introduction: Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) as a global contaminant is ubiquitously presented in the environmental media and human body. The association between PFOS exposure and reduced male fertility has been recently discovered.

Perfluorooctanoic acid dominates the molecular-level effects of a trace mixture of perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid in earthworm [PDF]
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are an important class of emerging contaminants in the environment. Most studies on the impact of PFAS considered individual compounds; meanwhile PFAS mainly exist in soil as mixtures. To fill this knowledge gap,

Comparative theoretical investigation on the isomerization energies of long-chain perfluoroalkanes: A case study with perfluorooctane sulfonic acid congeners [PDF]
The gas and solution phase relative thermodynamic stabilities of the 89 perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) congeners play an important role in assessing whether synthetic conditions for commercial mixtures are under thermodynamic or kinetic control ...

A rapid and high-throughput quantum dots bioassay for monitoring of perfluorooctane sulfonate in environmental water samples [PDF]
Currently HPLC/MS is the state of the art tool for environmental/drinking water perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) monitoring. PFOS can bind to peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARα), which forms heterodimers with retinoid X receptors
