Biomonitoring equivalents for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) for the interpretation of biomonitoring data

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2023
Background: Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is detected in the blood of virtually all biomonitoring study participants. Assessing health risks associated with blood PFOA levels is challenging because exposure guidance values (EGVs) are typically expressed ...

Adsorption of perfluorooctanoic acid from water by pH-modulated Brönsted acid and base sites in mesoporous hafnium oxide ceramics

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are increasingly appearing in drinking water sources globally. Our work focuses specifically on the adsorption of the legacy perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) using mesoporous hafnium oxide (MHO) ceramic ...

Photochemical transformation of perfluoroalkyl acid precursors in water using engineered nanomaterials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The production of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) has been phased out over recent decades; however, no significant decline in their environmental concentrations has been observed.

Stochastic Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic Modeling for Assessing the Systemic Health Risk of Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A phase 1 dose-escalation trial assessed the chemotherapeutic potential of ammonium perfluorooctanoate (APFO). Forty-nine primarily solid-tumor cancer patients who failed standard therapy received weekly APFO doses (50mg-1200mg) for six-weeks.

Polydopamine‐Mediated Grafting of Cationic Polymer Brushes for Adsorption of Fluorinated Compounds

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
We introduce a versatile approach to fabricate tunable charged interfaces by functionalizing stonewool fibers with a polydopamine (PDA)–quaternary amine coating via a grafting‐to method. The modified surfaces exhibit rapid, concentration‐dependent adsorption of anionic species driven by electrostatic interactions.

Efficient Removal of Short‐Chain Perfluoroalkyl Substances by Cavity‐Directed Aggregation in a Molecular Cage Host

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 12, 16 March 2026.
A molecular cage exhibits strong entropy‐driven encapsulation of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), accommodating up to four short‐chain guests as anionic aggregates. Guided by these molecular‐level insights, a novel host‐in‐host adsorbent is developed: mesoporous silica doped with 1 wt% cage achieves >98% removal of short‐ and long‐chain PFAS with full

Accumulation of perfluoroalkyl substances in human tissues

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2013
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are environmental pollutants with an important bioaccumulation potential. However, their metabolism and distribution in humans are not well studied.

Efficient sonochemical degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid using periodate

open access: yesUltrasonics Sonochemistry, 2016
A rapid and efficient treatment method, using periodate (PI) for sonochemical oxidation of persistent and bioaccumulative perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was developed. With an addition of 45 mM PI, 96.5% of PFOA was decomposed with a defluorination efficiency of 95.7% after 120 min of ultrasound (US). The removals of PFOA were augmented with an increase
