International Journal of Cancer, Volume 157, Issue 1, Page 103-115, 1 July 2025.What's new? Because of widespread use and resistance to degradation, per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous in the environment. For young children, owing in part to crawling and hand‐to‐mouth behaviors, PFAS exposure is unique. Here, the authors investigated the risk of childhood leukemia in relation to PFAS found in settled dust ...

Multimodel inference to quantify the relative importance of abiotic factors in the population dynamics of marine zooplankton [PDF]
, 2018 The effect of multiple stressors on marine ecosystems remains poorly understood and most of the knowledge available is related to phytoplankton. To partly address this knowledge gap, we tested if combining multimodel inference with generalized additive ...

Bioaccumulation modelling and sensitivity analysis for discovering key players in contaminated food webs: the case study of PCBs in the Adriatic Sea [PDF]
, 2015 Modelling bioaccumulation processes at the food web level is the main step to analyse the effects of pollutants at the global ecosystem level. A crucial question is understanding which species play a key role in the trophic transfer of contaminants to ...

Obesity, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 1165-1175, June 2025.Abstract Objective We investigated in utero exposure to polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) 138, PCB 153, and PCB 180 and obesity at reproductive age in a three‐generation human cohort, i.e., the Child Health and Development Studies. Methods We used logistic models to estimate associations of PCBs in grandmothers' (F0) archived perinatal serum with obesity ...

Concentrations of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins and Furans (PCDD/Fs), and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) as Functions of Sample Depth in Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) Blubber [PDF]
, 2007 Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were examined as a function of depth in killer whale (Orcinus orca) blubber samples.

The role of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances in cognitive impairment and dementia
Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous persistent organic pollutants. The neurotoxic and cardiometabolic effects of PFAS are well documented, leading to the hypothesis that exposure increases dementia risk. However, empirical data on PFAS in relation to cognitive impairment and dementia are weak, limited, and inconsistent ...
