Current exposure of Italian women of reproductive age to PFOS and PFOA: a human biomonitoring study [PDF]

, 2015
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) concentrations were determined in serum samples collected in 2011-2012 from 549 nulliparous Italian women of reproductive age who resided in six different Italian Regions.

Perfluoropolyether carboxylic acids (novel alternatives to PFOA) impair zebrafish posterior swim bladder development via thyroid hormone disruption

Environment International, 2020
Perfluoropolyether carboxylic acids (PFECAs, CF3(OCF2)nCOO−, n = 2–5) are novel alternatives to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and are widely used in industrial production.

No association between perfluoroalkyl chemicals and hypertension in children [PDF]

, 2014
Background Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease worldwide. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are perfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFCs) used in the manufacture of common consumer products and detected in ...

A Molecular Cu Electrocatalyst Escalates Ambient Perfluorooctanoic Acid Degradation

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 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, none of them disintegrates the PFOA backbone rapidly under mild conditions.

Exceptionally High Perfluorooctanoic Acid Uptake in Water by a Zirconium-Based Metal–Organic Framework through Synergistic Chemical and Physical Adsorption

Journal of the American Chemical Society
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is an environmental contaminant ubiquitous in water resources, which as a xenobiotic and carcinogenic agent, severely endangers human health. The development of techniques for its efficient removal is therefore highly sought

Metabolic Handling of Perfluorooctanoic Acid in Rats

Experimental 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.
