Abstract The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) has
established a global monitoring plan (GMP) to generate comparable data on the presence of …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are anthropogenic substances that are very
stable in the receiving environment. Legacy perfluoroalkane sulfonates (PFSAs) and …

In the last decade or so, concerns have arisen with respect to the widespread occurrence of
perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in the environment, food, drinking water, and humans. In this …

Despite the reports of the occurrence of perfluorochemicals (PFCs) in industrialized nations,
information on PFCs in less industrialized countries is meager. In the present study …

Many perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. They
have been widely used in production processes and daily-use products or may result from …

Inclusion of Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) in the Stockholm Convention because of its
exemptions, has resulted in increased annual production of PFOS-containing chemicals in …

The global monitoring plan (GMP) established under the Stockholm Convention on
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) had defined ambient air, human milk or blood, and …

As an emerging class of environmentally persistent organic pollutants, perfluorinated
compounds (PFCs), particularly perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane …

Recently, perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been noted as causes of some of the
important environmental problems in recent years due to their occurrences and properties …

Despite increasing regulatory efforts to reduce production of per-and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS), continued human and ecological exposure to PFAS has led to concerns …
