The goal of this article is to summarize new biological monitoring information on
perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in aquatic ecosystems (post-2005) as a followup to our …

The occurrence and fate of polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs) in the aquatic environment
has been recognized as one of the emerging issues in environmental chemistry. PFCs …

In recent years, human and wildlife monitoring studies have identified perfluoroalkyl acids
