Installation of synergistic binding sites onto porous organic polymers for efficient removal of perfluorooctanoic acid [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 The performance of adsorbents for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) removal often suffers from long equilibrium times, weak binding affinities and poor stability.

Biodegradation of Perfluorooctanoic Acid by Pseudomonas Plecoglossicida Strain DD4 [PDF]
مجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2022 Organofluorines, as a pollutant, belongs to a group of substances which are very difficult to neutralize. They are part of many products of everyday use and for this reason they pollute the environment in large quantities.

Perfluorooctanoic acid dominates the molecular-level effects of a trace mixture of perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid in earthworm [PDF]
, 2023 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, we investigated the impact of 200 ng/g of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane ...

Perfluorooctanoic acid rigidifies a model lipid membrane
Physical Review E, 2014 We report a combined dynamic light scattering and neutron spin-echo (NSE) study on vesicles composed of the phospholipid 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine under the influence of varying amounts of perfluorooctanoic acid. We study local lipid bilayer undulations using NSE on time scales up to 200 ns.

A Molecular Cu Electrocatalyst Escalates Ambient Perfluorooctanoic Acid Degradation [PDF]
, 2023 Groundwater reservoirs contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) need purifying remedies. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is the most abundant PFAS in drinking water. Although different degradation strategies for PFOA have been explored,

Immunometabolism-modulation and immunotoxicity evaluation of perfluorooctanoic acid in macrophage
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is one of the most commonly used perfluorinated chemicals in industry. Wide concerns of PFOA toxicity are increased in recent years. However, report on immunotoxicity of PFOA was quite limited.

Multimedia fate and transport simulation of perfluorooctanoic acid/ perfluorooctanoate in an urbanizing area [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2018 Strong global demand leads to significant production of fluoropolymers (FP) in China which potentially release large quantities of perfluorooctanoic acid/perfluorooctanoate (collectively called PFOA/PFO) to the environment. Modelling the fate and transport of PFOA/PFO provides an important input for human health risk assessment. Considering the effects

Endocrine disrupting properties of perfluorooctanoic acid [PDF]
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2011 Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) have attracted attention in recent years for their environmental ubiquity, as well as their toxicity. Several PFAAs are found in human tissues globally, as humans are exposed on a daily basis through intake of contaminated food, water, and air, irrespective of proximity to industry.
