Per and polyfluorinated substances in the Nordic Countries:Use, occurence and toxicology [PDF]
This Tema Nord report presents a study based on open information and custom market research to review the most common perfluorinated substances (PFC) with less focus on PFOS and PFOA.The study includes three major parts: 1) Identification of relevant per-

A novel high-oxygen-evolution anode boosts microbial electrolysis for perfluorooctanoic acid removal
A novel biochar-based anode, modified with Fe/Zn and doped with Sn/Sb, was developed for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) removal in a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) system.

Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Hand Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Objective To explore whether biologic levels of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS—reflecting the overall effect and accounting for correlations among PFAS—relate to incident hand osteoarthritis (HOA) and progression.

No association between perfluoroalkyl chemicals and hypertension in children [PDF]
Background Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease worldwide. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are perfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFCs) used in the manufacture of common consumer products and detected in ...

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

Perfluorooctanoic acid rigidifies a model lipid membrane
We report a combined dynamic light scattering and neutron spin-echo (NSE) study on vesicles composed of the phospholipid 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine under the influence of varying amounts of perfluorooctanoic acid.

Magnetism for the Quantification of Sorption in Porous Materials From Liquid Media
This adsorption quantification technique uses external magnetic fields and a magnetic holder to measure mass changes during adsorption, making it universally applicable to any adsorbate. Unlike standard methods, it requires calibration only for the adsorbent rather than for every analyte.

Fitting Nonlinear Calibration Curves: No Models Perfect [PDF]
The study of the calibration of a series of compounds of environmental concern (six perfluoroalkyl compounds (perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and five perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids), three preservatives (methyl-, ethyl- and propylparabens) and the ...
