Systemic PFOS and PFOA exposure and disturbed lipid homeostasis in humans: what do we know and what not?

27 Apr 2021 | Crt. Rev. Tox.

This paper aims to present the main issues regarding the modulation of lipid homeostasis by the two most common PFASs, PFOS and PFOA, with emphasis on the underlying mechanisms relevant for humans.

Total and class-specific analysis of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in environmental samples using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

27 Apr 2021 | J Haz. Mat. L.

This paper presents 19F-NMR reference spectra for 34 PFAS and discusses the complementarity of this method with other approaches for the total and class-specific analysis of PFAS.
