Perfluorooctanoic Acid

2014
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, 335-67-1) is used in fluoropolymer production and firefighting foams and persists in the environment. Human exposure to PFOA is mostly through the diet. PFOA primarily affects the liver and can cause developmental and reproductive toxic effects in test animals.

Photocatalytic Degradation of Perfluorooctanoic Acid

2014
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is an emerging persistent organic pollutant receiving increasing attention due to its global occurrence and resistance to most conventional degradation methods. Some special techniques such as ultrasonication, aqueous electron reduction, persulfate photolysis, and phosphotungstic-acid photocatalysis have been developed to ...

Microplastics as a vector of toxic chemicals in soil: Enhanced uptake of perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid by earthworms through sorption and reproductive toxicity

, 2021
The accumulation of microplastics (MP) in soil via their continuous release and degradation of large plastics has recently become a serious global problem.

Biomass activated carbon derived from pine sawdust with steam bursting pretreatment; perfluorooctanoic acid and methylene blue adsorption.

Bioresource Technology, 2021
Using waste biomass to prepare various products by environmentally benign processes is a good way to practice green and sustainable development. In this paper, high porosity and surface area biomass activated carbon was obtained by pyrolysis of pine ...

Perfluorooctanoic acid triggers oxidative stress in anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge.

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2021
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), as a recalcitrant organic pollutant, inevitably enters wastewater treatment facilities and is enriched in settled sludge. However, the potential impact of PFOA on sludge treatment has never been documented.

Reactive Nitrogen Species Generated by Gas-Liquid Dielectric Barrier Discharge for Efficient Degradation of Perfluorooctanoic Acid from Water.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2021
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) poses a serious threat to the ecological environment and biological health because of its ubiquitous distribution, extreme persistence, and high toxicity.

Sex hormone-regulated renal transport of perfluorooctanoic acid

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2002
The biological half-life (t1/2) of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in male rats is 70 times longer than that in female rats. The difference is mainly due to the difference in renal clearance (CL(R)), which was significantly reduced by probenecid, suggesting that PFOA is excreted by organic anion transporter(s).

Laccase-Catalyzed Degradation of Perfluorooctanoic Acid

Environmental Science & Technology Letters, 2015
This study examined the decomposition of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in enzyme-catalyzed oxidative humification reactions (ECOHRs). ECOHRs make up a class of reactions that are ubiquitous in the environment. Approximately 50% of PFOA in a mineral buffer solution decomposed upon addition of laccase and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole after 157 days with a ...

Central administration of perfluorooctanoic acid inhibits cutaneous inflammation

Inflammation Research, 2005
To elucidate the site of action of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in the carrageenan model of peripheral inflammation.Male Sprague-Dawley rats.We first compared the anti-edema effects of systemic PFOA (50-150 mg/kg) with prototypical nonsteroidal (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA, 50-200 mg/kg) and steroidal (dexamethasone, 0.5-5.0 mg/kg) drugs after the ...

Sonochemical Decomposition of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate and Perfluorooctanoic Acid

Environmental Science & Technology, 2005
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are shown to be globally distributed, environmentally persistent, and bioaccumulative. Although the toxicities of these compounds were reported, the cleanup procedure from the environment is not developed because of their inertness.
