PFASs in Finnish Rivers and Fish and the Loading of PFASs to the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Water, 2019 The concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the Finnish aquatic environment were measured in riverine waters and in inland, coastal and open sea fish. In addition, the PFAS load to the Baltic Sea from 11 rivers was calculated.

, 2015 NILU has, on behalf of the Norwegian Environment Agency, performed sampling and analysis of house dust from Norwegian households. The goal was to study concentration ranges, and variability between- and within-houses of anionic and volatile per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs), including the regulated PFOA, as well as for total extractable

MoleculesAs regulations ban legacy PFASs, many emerging PFASs are being developed, leading to their release into the aquatic environment and drinking water. However, research studies on these emerging PFASs in drinking water are limited, and current standards ...

Freshwater ecotoxicity characterization factors for PFASs
Integrated Environmental Assessment and ManagementAbstract This research aims to address the data gaps in freshwater ecotoxicological characterization factors (CFs) for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). These CFs are essential for incorporating the ecotoxicity impacts of PFAS emissions into life cycle assessments (LCAs).

PFASs: What can we learn from the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative HBM4EU. [PDF]
International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, 2023 Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were one of the priority substance groups selected which have been investigated under the ambitious European Joint programme HBM4EU (2017-2022).

Alternatives to PFASs: Perspectives on the Science [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 2015 Poly- and perfluoroalkyl acids (PFASs) are ubiquitous in our lives. These chemicals are used as surfactants and as water and oil repellents in a variety of consumer products such as cosmetics, food packaging, furnishings, and clothing. Since their initial marketing more than 60 years ago, extensive research has demonstrated that the long-chain PFASs ...

Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in the Canadian Freshwater Environment. [PDF]
Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2021 Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are anthropogenic substances that are very stable in the receiving environment. PFASs are persistent and resistant to typical environmental degradation processes and therefore are distributed across all trophic levels and environmental compartments (soil, air, water). Since most uses of PFOS,

A Never-Ending Story of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs)?
Environmental Science and Technology, 2017 More than 3000 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are, or have been, on the global market, yet most research and regulation continues to focus on a limited selection of rather well-known long-chain FASs, particularly perfluorooctanesulfonate ...
