Exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and dyslipidemia, hypertension and obesity in adolescents. The Fit Futures study

26 Jan 2021 | Environ Res

This cross-sectional study showed a possible link between several PFAS and dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity in Norwegian adolescents.

The occurrence of PFAS in human placenta and their binding abilities to human serum albumin and organic anion transporter 4

26 Jan 2021 | Environ Pollut

The findings in the study can help better understand the occurrence of the PFAS in the human placenta and the placental transfer mechanisms of PFAS in human beings.

Occurrence and toxicity of perfluoroalkyl acids along the estuarine and coastal regions under varied environmental factors

26 Jan 2021 | Sci Total Environ

The main variables that appear to intervene in estuarine and coastal regions are mainly the proximity to the source of pollution, salinity, pH, precipitation (rain) as well as types of PFAAs.

Exposure to perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) but not perflurorooctanoic acid (PFOA) at ppb concentration induces chronic toxicity in Daphnia carinata

26 Jan 2021 | Sci Total Environ

The results of this study have great implications for risk assessment of PFOS and PFOA in aquatic ecosystems, given the potential of PFOS to pose a risk to Daphnia even at lower concentrations (1 μg L).
