Historical trends of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in dated sediments from semi-enclosed bays of Korea

, 2018
Information is scarce on historical trends of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the coastal environment. In this study, four sediment cores were collected from semi-enclosed bays of Korea to investigate the pollution history, contamination profiles ...

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.

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.

Electrochemical degradation of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in groundwater

Water Science and Technology, 2015
Abstract Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) represent hazardous pollutants and are frequently detected in the environment, e.g. in contaminated groundwater. PFASs are persistent to biodegradation and conventional oxidation processes such as ozonation.

Short-chain perfluoroalkyl acids: environmental concerns and a regulatory strategy under REACH

Environmental Sciences Europe, 2018
Background Short-chain PFASs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are widely used as alternatives to long-chain PFASs. Long-chain PFASs become gradually regulated under REACH (EC No.

Degradation of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs): Structural Dependence and Implications to PFASs Remediation and Managemen

, 2019
The removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) from drinking water has been the USEPA’s national priority. Although many novel technologies have been developed for the defluorination (i.e., C−F bond cleavage) of legacy C8 PFOA/PFOS, studies ...

Occurrence and characteristics of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in electroplating industrial wastewater

, 2019
The potential negative effects of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) discharged into aquatic environments are drawing increasing attention. However, little research has been undertaken on PFASs in wastewater from electroplating industrial parks.

Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) in northern Spain municipal solid waste landfill leachates [PDF]

, 2017
Landfill leachates have been recognized as significant secondary sources of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). This study presents data on the occurrence and concentration of 11 perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs) and 5 perfluoroalkyl ...

Vertical Profiles, Sources, and Transport of PFASs in the Arctic Ocean

Environmental Science & Technology, 2017
The relative importance of atmospheric versus oceanic transport for poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) reaching the Arctic Ocean is not well understood. Vertical profiles from the Central Arctic Ocean and shelf water, snow and meltwater samples were collected in 2012; 13 PFASs (C6-C12 PFCAs; C6, 8, 10 PFSAs; MeFOSAA and EtFOSAA; and FOSA)
