Maternal concentrations of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and duration of breastfeeding

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2010
OBJECTIVE: Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) has been associated with impaired lactation in mice. We examined whether maternal perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and PFOA concentrations correlated with duration of breastfeeding among women.

Visible‐Light‐Induced Carbon–Hydrogen Phosphonylation of Conjugated Polymers via Electron Donor–Acceptor Complex Activation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complex activation enabled the efficient transformation of conjugated polymers. Compared with the small‐molecule model compound, the polymers reacted more efficiently, achieving quantitative conversion of PFO. This result demonstrates a new platform for incorporating conjugated polymers into EDA‐mediated photochemical ...
