PFAS: forever chemicals—persistent, bioaccumulative and mobile. Reviewing the status and the need for their phase out and remediation of contaminated sites

Environmental Sciences Europe, 2023
Background Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) have received increasing scientific and political attention in recent years. Several thousand commercially produced compounds are used in numerous products and technical processes.

Consideration of pathways for immunotoxicity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)

Environmental Health, 2023
Background Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are of public health concern, because of their ubiquitous and extremely persistent occurrence, and depending on their structure, their bio-accumulative, mobile and toxic properties.

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in PubChem: 7 Million and Growing

Environmental Science and Technology, 2023
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are of high concern, with calls to regulate them as a class. In 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) revised the definition of PFAS to include any chemical containing at least ...

Occurrence, Fate, and Related Health Risks of PFAS in Raw and Produced Drinking Water

Environmental Science and Technology, 2023
This study investigates human exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) via drinking water and evaluates human health risks. An analytical method for 56 target PFAS, including ultrashort-chain (C2–C3) and branched isomers, was developed. The

Total Oxidizable Precursor (TOP) Assay-Best Practices, Capabilities and Limitations for PFAS Site Investigation and Remediation.

Environmental Science and Technology Letters, 2023
The comprehensive characterization of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) is necessary for the effective assessment and management of risk at contaminated sites. While current analytical methods are capable of quantitatively measuring a number of

Using Sat solvers for synchronization issues in partial deterministic automata [PDF]

, 2019
We approach the task of computing a carefully synchronizing word of minimum length for a given partial deterministic automaton, encoding the problem as an instance of SAT and invoking a SAT solver.
