Immunometabolism-modulation and immunotoxicity evaluation of perfluorooctanoic acid in macrophage

open access: yesEcotoxicology 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.

Efficient PFOA removal from drinking water by a dual-functional mixed-matrix-composite nanofiltration membrane

open access: yesnpj Clean Water, 2023
Drinking water contamination by per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) is a global concern. Nanofiltration is a promising PFAS removal technology due to its scalability and cost-effectiveness.

Endocrine disrupting properties of perfluorooctanoic acid [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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.

Effects of perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid on microbial community structure during anaerobic digestion.

open access: yesBioresource Technology, 2023
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are recalcitrant organic pollutants, which accumulate widely in aquatic and solid matrices. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of possible options to manage organic wastes containing PFASs, however, the impacts of

Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation of Perfluorooctanoic Acid by Mesoporous Sb2O3/TiO2 Heterojunctions

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a typical perfluorinated carboxylic acid, is an emerging type of permanent organic pollutants that are regulated by the Stockholm Convention.

Omnipresent Chemicals: TSCA Preemption in the Wake of PFAS Contamination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Over the past few decades, studies addressing the harms of PFAS have gradually progressed, and now scientists believe increased exposure could lead to reproductive defects and a higher risk of cancer.

Exposure to perfluoroalkyl acids and markers of kidney function among children and adolescents living near a chemical plant. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: Serum levels of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) have been associated with decreased renal function in cross-sectional analyses, but the direction of the association is unclear.
