Differential associations between synthetic endocrine disruptors and renal function impairment across varying degrees in middle-aged and older adult populations

Frontiers in Public Health
BackgroundExisting research has revealed that various factors, including environmental pollutants, can affect renal function. This study aims to explore the association between various synthetic Endocrine Disruptors(EDs), which are widely present in the ...

Combined adsorption and electrochemical oxidation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) using graphite intercalated compound [PDF]

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a bioaccumulative synthetic chemical containing strong C–F bonds and is one of the most common per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) detected in the environment.

CDK4/MERCs/PINK1 Axis Drives PFOA/HFPO‐TA‐Induced Cardiac Senescence via Mitophagy Defect and cGAS‐STING Activation: In Vitro Amelioration by Cycloastragenol

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The present study demonstrated that PFOA and HFPO‐TA exposure suppressed CDK4, disrupted MERCs and impaired PINK1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy, thereby accelerating cardiac senescence, whereas CAG effectively reversed these pathological changes in vitro. Our findings identify CDK4 as a critical regulator bridging mitophagy defects and cardiac senescence ...

The toxicity of perfluoroalkyl acids in zebrafish (Danio rerio) [PDF]

, 2013
Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are globally distributed synthetic chemicals. Their unique properties make them widely used, in industry and elsewhere. These are a group of compounds with varying carbon chain lengths and functional groups.

Skin Permeability of Perfluorocarboxylic Acids Using Flow-Through Diffusion on Porcine Skin

Toxics
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are found in a variety of places including cosmetics, rain jackets, dust, and water. PFAS have also been applied to occupational gear to protect against water and oils.

Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Knee Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To examine whether concentrations of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS relate to incident knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and knee pain progression. Methods Among a case‐cohort sample from the OA Initiative (n = 1,878), we examined associations of serum concentrations of eight PFAS with odds of developing ...

Silica Coating Enhances the PFAS Photocatalytic Properties of Boron Nitride

CleanMat, EarlyView.
A coating of 6 wt% SiO2 effectively covered the edges of BN, which lowered BN hydrolysis and increased PFOA photodegradation. ABSTRACT Boron nitride (BN) has recently emerged as a promising material capable of breaking down toxic perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and other per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) through photocatalysis. However, chemical

Porphyrin-based colorimetric sensing of perfluorooctanoic acid as proof of concept for perfluoroalkyl substance detection

, 2021
A functionalized porphyrin receptor was prepared to bind perfluorooctanoic acid. UV-Vis spectroscopic analysis showed the receptor gave a rapid colorimetric response that could also be detected visually at environmentally relevant concentrations.

Fe3+ Promoted the Photocatalytic Defluorination of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) over In2O3

, 2021
In this study, four kinds of In2O3 photocatalysts were prepared by a facile calcination process at different temperatures and used for the removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from contaminated water.
