• Association between mixed exposure to per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances and metabolic syndrome in Korean adults: Data from the Korean National environmental health survey cycle 4

  Science

  1 Aug 2024 | Int. J. Hyg. Environ. Health

  Exposure to multiple PFAS increases the risk of metabolic syndrome—a cluster of conditions including obesity, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, and high blood sugar—particularly in females, with significant contributions from PFNA.

• Associations between serum perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl concentrations and diabetes mellitus in the Korean general population: Insights from the Korean National Environmental Health Survey 2018-2020

  Science

  26 Apr 2024 | Int J Hyg Environ Health

  PFAS exposure and prediabetes risk in the general Korean population was found to have a significant positive association between specific PFAS compounds, such as PFHxS and PFOS, and the risk of pre-diagnostic diabetes and prediabetes.

• The association of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure and kidney function in Korean adolescents using data from Korean National Environmental Health Survey (KoNEHS) cycle 4 (2018-2020): a cross-sectional study

  Science

  15 Mar 2023 | Ann Occup Environ Med

• Exposure to serum perfluoroalkyl substances and biomarkers of liver function: The Korean national environmental health survey 2015-2017

  Science

  21 Feb 2023 | Chemosphere

  Higher serum PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFDA, and PFNA concentrations were related to higher serum concentrations of liver enzymes, although some differences were dependent on sex and obesity status.

• Placental Transfer and Composition of Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs): A Korean Birth Panel of Parent-Infant Triads

  Science

  20 Jul 2021 | Toxics

  Gestational age and birth weight were positively associated with a placental transfer rate of PFOA, PFHxS, and PFOS, while pre-pregnant BMI and weight were inversely associated with PFOS.

• Per- and polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) as Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Asia's Freshwater Resources

  Science

  13 Apr 2021 | Environ Res

  Science

  6 Jan 2021 | J Hazard Mater

  Significant increasing temporal trends were observed for PFOS, PFNA, and F-53B suggesting continuous use or accumulation of these in the Korean environment.

• Perfluoroalkyl acids in rapidly developing coastal areas of China and South Korea: Spatiotemporal variation and source apportionment

  Science

  24 Nov 2020 | Sci Total Environ
