Photodynamic priming (PDP) targets platinum resistance from chronic perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure in ovarian cancer cells

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
PFAS are environmental contaminants that induce chemoresistance in ovarian cancer cells. This study evaluated BPD‐PDP or ALA‐PpIX‐PDP in combination with carboplatin or doxorubicin to overcome PFAS‐induced chemoresistance in two cell cohorts: (i) PFAS chronically‐exposed and (ii) PFAS outgrown cells (which underwent a “recovery period” after chronic ...

Monthly Variations in Perfluorinated Compound Concentrations in Groundwater

Toxics, 2018
Large-scale manufacturing of poly- and perfluorinated compounds in the second half of the 20th century has led to their ubiquity in the environment, and their unique structure has made them persistent contaminants.

The Price of Prosperity? A Historical Account of Regulating Industrial Pollution in the Netherlands

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regulatory governance and state‐corporate crime studies link persistent industrial pollution to long‐term regulatory–industry interactions, yet little is known about how these interactions evolve and become entrenched. This article examines two enduring cases of industrial pollution in the Netherlands—Hoogovens/Tata Steel and DuPont de Nemours/

Sustainability Assessment of Alternative Methods for Destruction of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Water

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants widely recognized for their resistance to degradation and potential adverse health effects. The treatment of PFAS‐contaminated aqueous media (e.g., drinking water, wastewater, and leachate) has been extensively studied in the published literature; however, the

β-Cyclodextrin Attenuates Perfluorooctanoic Acid Toxicity in the Zebrafish Embryo Model

Toxics, 2017
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has been linked to negative health outcomes including cancer, thyroid disease, infertility, and developmental delays. β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD), a cyclic sugar, has been previously shown to form strong host–guest complexes with ...

Dissolved Organic Matter and Pretreatment Effects on PFAS Removal by Granular Activated Carbon

AWWA Water Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption is commonly used to remove per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. In this study, we evaluated the impact of dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentration and pretreatment on GAC use rates for PFAS removal.
