Assessing the Spatial Distribution of Perfluorooctanoic Acid Exposure via Public Drinking Water Pipes Using Geographic Information Systems. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
OBJECTIVES: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a powerful tool for assessing exposure in epidemiologic studies. We used GIS to determine the geographic extent of contamination by perfluorooctanoic acid, C8 (PFOA) that was released into the ...

Perfluorooctanoic acid dominates the molecular-level effects of a mixture of equal masses of perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid in earthworm

open access: yesJournal of Hazardous Materials, 2023
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are an important class of emerging contaminants in the environment. Most studies on the impact of PFAS mixtures considered phenotypic endpoints, which may not adequately reflect the sublethal effects on organisms.

Perfluorinated compounds in adults and their association with fasting glucose and incident diabetes: a prospective cohort study

open access: yesEnvironmental Health, 2022
Background The endocrine disruption of perfluorinated compounds is an emerging issue. We aimed to examine the association of serum perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) levels with incident diabetes and fasting serum ...

Comparison between Chemical and Biological Degradation Processes for Perfluorooctanoic Acid

open access: yesSoil Systems, 2023
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a perfluoro compound that contains an eight-carbon perfluoroalkyl chain followed by a carboxylic acid function group. The C-F bound possesses a strong bond energy of approximately 485 kJ/mol, rendering PFOA thermally and ...

Metabolic Handling of Perfluorooctanoic Acid in Rats

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1980
SummaryThe metabolic fate of perfluorooctanoic acid administered by stomach intubation to female rats was investigated. The nonionic fluorine level in the serum was increased 200-fold after administration of the dose but returned to baseline levels by 52.5 hr.
