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.

Occurrence of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in marine plastic litter from coastal areas of Central Chile
Science
25 Aug 2021 | Mar Pollut Bull
Long-chain PFAS, which can be metabolically degraded into PFOS, were found on six South American beaches in plastic debris.

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.

The Dilemma of Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) Human Half-life
Science
25 Aug 2021 | Regul Toxicol Pharmacol
Based on information from both human observational studies and clinical data, we proposed a range for the half-life for PFOA of 0.5 to 1.5 years, which would likely raise many existing regulatory safe levels if all other parameters stayed the same.

Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and cardiometabolic indices during pregnancy: The HOME Study
Science
25 Aug 2021 | Environ Int
HFPO-DA was found to potentially be a major problem of health risk that affects inflammation, gut barrier dysfunction, and gut microbiota disturbance in mammals.

Removal of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) by wetlands: Prospects on plants, microbes and the interplay
Science
25 Aug 2021 | Sci Total Environ
The choice of plants and bacterial species is however crucial for the bioremediation of PFAS, and the system efficiency relies on species-specific, sediment-specific, and pollutant-specific principles.

Chlorinated polyfluoroalkyl ether sulfonic acids in fish, dust, drinking water and human serum: From external exposure to internal doses
Science
25 Aug 2021 | Environ Int
The modeled serum concentrations of 6:2 Cl-PFESA were higher than its observed levels hinting at its gradually increasing exposure levels in the general population.

Correlates of plasma concentrations of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances among reproductive-aged Black women
Science
24 Aug 2021 | Environ Res
PFAS exposure was strongly associated with reproductive factors such as reduced concentrations with parity, recent birth, lactation, and heavy menstrual bleeding in black women.

Perfluorinated compounds disrupted osmoregulation in Oryzias melastigma during acclimation to hypoosmotic environment
Science
18 Aug 2021 | Ecotoxicol Environ Saf
PFOS showed a greater impact on fish’s ability to extract oxygen from fresh and saltwater than the shorter chain homolog PFBS.
