Temperature effect on photolysis decomposing of perfluorooctanoic acid [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2016
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is recalcitrant to degrade and mineralize. Here, the effect of temperature on the photolytic decomposition of PFOA was investigated. The decomposition of PFOA was enhanced from 34% to 99% in 60 min of exposure when the temperature was increased from 25 to 85°C under UV light (201-600 nm).

Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid and Perfluorooctanoic Acid Promote Migration of Three-Dimensional Colorectal Cancer Spheroids.

, 2023
Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are persistent environmental contaminants that are of increasing public concern worldwide. However, their relationship with colorectal cancer (CRC) is poorly understood.

Enhanced perfluorooctanoic acid degradation by electrochemical activation of peroxymonosulfate in aqueous solution

Environment International, 2020
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

Interaction of perfluorooctanoic acid with human serum albumin [PDF]

BMC Structural Biology, 2009
AbstractBackgroundRecently, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has become a significant issue in many aspects of environmental ecology, toxicology, pathology and life sciences because it may have serious effects on the endocrine, immune and nervous systems and can lead to embryonic deformities and other diseases.

Degradation of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) on Aluminum Oxide Surfaces: New Mechanisms from Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations [PDF]

, 2023
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a part of a large group of anthropogenic, persistent, and bio-accumulative contaminants known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that can be harmful to human health. In this work, we present the first ab initio
