Perfluoroalkyl substances in early pregnancy and risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: A prospective cohort study

Environment International, 2020
Background: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were reported to be associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) but the results were inconsistent and prospective data are scarce.

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 792-810, May 2026.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Leachate emissions of short- and long-chain perand polyfluoralkyl substances (PFASs) from various Norwegian landfills

, 2019
Restrictions on the use of long-chain per- and polyfluoralkyl substances (PFASs) has led to substitutions with short-chain PFASs. This study investigated the presence of four short-chain PFASs and twenty-four long-chain PFASs in leachate and sediment ...

Circulating levels of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and carotid artery atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: During recent years, some persistent organic pollutants (POPs) have been linked to atherosclerosis. One group of POPs, the poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have not been investigated with regard to atherosclerotic ...

Homogeneous Copper(I) Electrocatalyzed Degradation of Ultra‐Short and Long‐Chain Perfluoroalkyl Substances

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Molecular copper(I) electrocatalyst promoted ultra‐short and long‐chain perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) degradation under ambient homogeneous electrochemical conditions. Substrate scopes also include fluoroalkyl alcohols and trifluoroacetic acid. Controlled‐current electrolysis studies in the presence of the copper(I) catalyst showed the defluorination

Microbial binding of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) : - Analysis of PFASs in microbes with ultra-performance liquid chromatography – tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS)

, 2018
Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) belong to a large group of man-made chemicals that pollute the environment. Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are the most commonly found PFASs. The pollution of PFASs

Pulmonary exposure to PFASs: evidence from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of patients with lung cancer and non-cancer lung diseases

Environmental Sciences Europe
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are highly persistent anthropogenic chemicals increasingly linked to adverse respiratory effects via inhalation. However, direct evidence of PFASs accumulation within the human lung remains limited.

Toxicity of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Their Substitutes to Terrestrial and Aquatic Invertebrates—A Review

Toxics
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been widely used in daily life but they cause certain impacts on the environment due to their unique carbon–fluorine chemical bonds that are difficult to degrade in the environment.

Concentrations and exposure risks of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in human milk from Southern China during the first 400 days of lactation

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) pose significant health risks, particularly for infants who are highly susceptible during early life. Although several studies have reported PFASs concentrations and exposure risks in human milk in China, they ...

Effect of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances on neurodevelopment: Evidence-based risk assessment in the TRAEC strategy context

Environment International
Although emerging evidence on the association between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and neurodevelopment have been investigated, there is no consensus on the effect of maternal PFASs on neurodevelopment in offspring.
