Distinct transcriptional response of Caenorhabditis elegans to different exposure routes of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid

, 2019
Although people are exposed daily to per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs), the biological consequences are poorly explored. The health risks associated with PFAS exposure are currently based on chemical analysis with a weak correlation to ...

Association between plasma perfluoroalkyl substances and high-grade serous ovarian cancer overall survival: A nested case-control study

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Background: Although evidence suggests that perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are positively correlated to several disease risks, no studies have proven if plasma PFASs are related to ovarian cancer survival. Objective: To explore the

Prenatal and Neonatal Exposure to Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid Results in Changes in miRNA Expression Profiles and Synapse Associated Proteins in Developing Rat Brains

, 2016
We previously identified a number of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS)-responsive transcripts in developing rat brains using microarray analysis. However, the underlying mechanisms and functional consequences remain unclear.

Assessment of perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid exposure through fish consumption in Italy

Italian Journal of Food Safety, 2016
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are pollutants of anthropic origin with possible side effects on human health. Diet, and in particular fish and seafood, is considered the major intake pathway for humans. The present study investigated the levels of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) contamination in

Emerging Persistent Organic Pollutants in Chinese Bohai Sea and Its Coastal Regions

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Emerging persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have widely aroused public concern in recent years. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride/perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (POSF/PFOS) had been newly listed in Stockholm ...

Differential toxicity between perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)

The Journal of Toxicological Sciences, 2016
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent environmental contaminants. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are representatives of PFASs. Recently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) set the health advisory level as 70 parts per trillion for lifetime exposure to PFOS and PFOA from drinking water, based

Perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid in the fingernails of urban and rural children

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2010
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are two typical perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), found in a wide range of environmental media and organisms, including humans. Human biomonitoring studies of body fluids have revealed that in many areas of the world the general population has been exposed to background levels of PFOS ...
