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

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 ...

Enhanced removal of perfluorooctanoic acid with sequential photocatalysis and fungal treatment
In this paper, we report the degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which is a persistent contaminant in the environment that can severely impact human health, by exposing it to a photocatalyst, bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI), containing both Bi_4O_5I_2

Comparison between Chemical and Biological Degradation Processes for Perfluorooctanoic Acid
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 ...

Multimedia fate and transport simulation of perfluorooctanoic acid/ perfluorooctanoate in an urbanizing area [PDF]
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

Objective Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals with demonstrated endocrine-disrupting properties. Exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has been linked to disturbed metabolism via the liver, although the exact mechanism is not ...

Novel ssDNA aptamer-based fluorescence sensor for perfluorooctanoic acid detection in water.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely detected environmental contaminants, and there is a great need for development of sensor technologies for rapid and continuous monitoring of PFAS.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was efficiently decomposed at Ti/SnO2-Sb anode via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. PFOA degradation followed both pseudo-zero-order (0–30 min) and pseudo-first-order (30–120 min) kinetics. The pseudo-first-order kinetics
