Bromine-photosensitized degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been decomposed photochemically by using manganese dioxide (MnO2) as oxidant, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) as solvent, and bromine (Br2) as photocatalyst, to produce several smaller organofluorine compounds, and ...

Perfluorooctanoic acid for shotgun proteomics. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Here, we describe the novel use of a volatile surfactant, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), for shotgun proteomics. PFOA was found to solubilize membrane proteins as effectively as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS).

Network toxicology of perfluorooctanoic acid-induced hepatointestinal injury and the protective effect of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides against perfluorooctanoic acid in broilers [PDF]

Poultry Science
Given the extensive organ toxicity of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), this study aimed to elucidate its mechanisms of hepatointestinal toxicity and to evaluate the protective efficacy of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP). In the initial phase, network

On the Role of the Cathode for the Electro-Oxidation of Perfluorooctanoic Acid [PDF]

Catalysts, 2020
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), C7F15COOH, has been widely employed over the past fifty years, causing an environmental problem because of its dispersion and low biodegradability. Furthermore, the high stability of this molecule, conferred by the high strength of the C-F bond makes it very difficult to remove.

Trends, Dynamicity in Collaboration, and Impact on Perfluorooctanoic Acid and Cancer Research: A Scientometric Study [PDF]

Indian Journal of Community Medicine
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a highly regulated and potentially toxic chemical compound because several studies have classified PFOA as potentially carcinogenic to humans. To analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics in the collaboration and impact on PFOA

Incineration of Perfluorooctanoic Acid Leads to Regeneration of Smaller Perfluorocarboxylic Acids. [PDF]

J Phys Chem A
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and other per and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are emerging environmental contaminants of concern. Incineration is a common method of PFAS destruction and disposal, but due to the strength and stability of C-F chemical bonds, the process is poorly understood.

From algorithm to verification: based on network toxicology and machine learning, the immunomodulatory role of IGFBP1/MKI67/C9 in perfluorooctanoic acid-induced osteoarthritis was discovered, and a diagnostic model was constructed [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundPerfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a widespread persistent environmental contaminant, has been associated with osteoarthritis (OA) onset and progression, though mechanisms remain unclear.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) exposure in relation to the kidneys: A review of current available literature

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Perfluorooctanoic acid is an artificial and non-degradable chemical. It is widely used due to its stable nature. It can enter the human body through food, drinking water, inhalation of household dust and contact with products containing perfluorooctanoic
