Astaxanthin reduces perfluorooctanoic acid cytotoxicity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Abstract Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFA) has been identified as an environmental contaminant of high concern for human health. In this study, we demonstrated that PFA induces a dose (0 to 1.5 mM) dependent cytotoxicity in S. cerevisiae cells which can be rescued by astaxanthin.

ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants widely recognized for their resistance to degradation and potential adverse health effects. The treatment of PFAS‐contaminated aqueous media (e.g., drinking water, wastewater, and leachate) has been extensively studied in the published literature; however, the

ABSTRACT This review synthesizes current research on the phytoremediation potential of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for heavy metals, including arsenic, aluminium, mercury, copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and zinc, as well as per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” A structured and transparent ...

Monthly Variations in Perfluorinated Compound Concentrations in Groundwater
Large-scale manufacturing of poly- and perfluorinated compounds in the second half of the 20th century has led to their ubiquity in the environment, and their unique structure has made them persistent contaminants.

ABSTRACT Mussel aquaculture has experienced substantial growth in recent decades, with global production exceeding 2.17 megatons (live weight), more than doubling since the early 21st century. Representing nearly 94% of the total mussel production, aquaculture plays a crucial economic and ecological role.

Theoretical studies on the pK~a~ values of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids: Chain helicity [PDF]
Semiempirical, ab initio, and density functional theory (DFT) studies were conducted on a homologous series of straight chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) ranging in chain length from C~1~ (trifluoroacetic acid; TFA) to C~9~ (perfluorodecanoic

Perfuorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS), Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), Brominated Dioxins (PBDDs) and Furans (PBDFs) in Wild and Farmed Organisms at Different Trophic Levels in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
The present study shows the results of perfuorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), brominated dioxins (PBDDs) and furans (PBDFs) measured in several marine fish and seafood of commercial interest at different trophic levels of the ...
