Exposure of Preconception Couples to Legacy and Emerging Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: Variations Within and Between Couples
Science
16 Jan 2022 | Environ Sci Technol
Individual PFAS were generally correlated within couples though men often exhibited higher plasma concentrations, and PFAS exposure between different couples depended on annual household income, dwelling floor type, drinking water source, and living near farmlands.

Distribution, sources, and dietetic-related health risk assessment of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in the agricultural environment of an industrial-agricultural interaction region (IAIR), Changshu, East China
Science
20 Dec 2021 | Sci Total Environ
Textiles and food industries may contribute to PFAAs in agricultural environments, which can lead to high PFAS contamination in local fish and vegetables.

Association between maternal serum concentration of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) at delivery and acute infectious diseases in infancy
Science
20 Dec 2021 | Chemosphere
Prenatal exposure to PFAS was associated with increased risks of diarrhea during the first year of life, and these effects were stronger among breastfed infants.
-
Distribution, source identification and health risk assessment of PFASs in groundwater from Jiangxi Province, China
Science
30 Nov 2021 | Chemosphere
Monitoring in China suggests that PFBA, PFPeA, 6:2 FTS and F–53B are broadly used replacements of PFOA and PFOS with estimated daily intakes of short-chain PFCAs higher than that of PFOA.
-
Prenatal exposure to poly-/per-fluoroalkyl substances is associated with alteration of lipid profiles in cord-blood
Science
30 Nov 2021 | Metabolomics
Prenatal PFAS exposure may explain associations between PFAS exposure and adverse health conditions later in life, such as type 2 diabetes.

Perfluoroalkyl substances in water, sediment, and fish from a subtropical river of China: Environmental behaviors and potential risk
Science
27 Oct 2021 | Chemosphere
Frequent consumption of fish from Chinese waters was found to risk overall health due to PFAS contamination potentially.

Exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances in early pregnancy and the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: A nested case-control study in Guangxi, China
Science
12 Oct 2021 | Chemosphere
PFAS mixtures as well as PFOA and PFOS exposure was associated with an increased risk of developing potentially fatal disorders in mother and child.

Associations between Novel and Legacy Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Human Serum and Thyroid Cancer: A Case and Healthy Population in Shandong Province, East China
Science
12 Oct 2021 | Environ Sci Technol
PFAS such as PFNA was found to disrupt normal thyroid function and may be associated with thyroid cancer.
-
The effects of Cl-PFESAs exposure on blood lipids - A community-based large population study in Guangzhou
Science
5 Oct 2021 | Sci Total Environ
Our research suggested a negative impact of Cl-PFESAs on blood lipid patterns and a possible non-linear association.
-
Source apportionment and crop bioaccumulation of perfluoroalkyl acids and novel alternatives in an industrial-intensive region with fluorochemical production, China: Health implications for human exposure
Science
22 Sep 2021 | J Hazard Mater
Through crop consumption, short-chained PFAAs and novel alternatives might pose emerging human health threats.
-
Transport and environmental risks of perfluoroalkyl acids in a large irrigation and drainage system for agricultural production
Science
11 Sep 2021 | Environ Int
Up to 40% of tolerant daily intake came from humans eating contaminated aquatic organisms.
-
The occurrence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in fluoropolymer raw materials and products made in China
Science
25 Aug 2021 | J Environ Sci (China)
Generally, the levels of PFOA in raw materials were higher than in products, implying that PFOA in the emulsion/dispersion resin could be partly removed during the polymerization or post-processing steps.
-
External and internal human exposure to PFOA and HFPOs around a mega fluorochemical industrial park, China: Differences and implications
Science
25 Aug 2021 | Environ Int
PFAS were detected in human hair, and their compositions were similar to those in human serum, suggesting that hair is a good non-invasive indicator for long-term exposure to legacy long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids and HFPOs.
-
Associations of Prenatal Exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances with the Neonatal Birth Size and Hormones in the Growth Hormone/Insulin-Like Growth Factor Axis
Science
17 Aug 2021 | Environ Sci Technol

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in leachate, fly ash, and bottom ash from waste incineration plants: Implications for the environmental release of PFAS
Science
19 Jul 2021 | Sci Total Environ
PFBA and PFBS were associated with leachate contamination while PFOS was found to travel in fly ash readily.
