PFASs are a class of compounds that include perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances,
some of the most persistent pollutants still allowed-or only partially restricted-in several …

Nowadays, an increasing emission of chemically resistant perfluorinated compounds (PFCs)
to the natural environment, together with a global presence of those anthropogenic …

Drinking water contamination with poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) poses risks
to the developmental, immune, metabolic, and endocrine health of consumers. We present a …

The primary aim of this article is to provide an overview of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFASs) detected in the environment, wildlife, and humans, and recommend …

Human exposure to perfluorochemicals (PFCs) has attracted mounting attention due to their
potential harmful effects. Breathing, dietary intake, and drinking are believed to be the main …

Because of the important environmental presence and the potential human toxicity of per-
and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs), in recent years the social and scientific …

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is an anthropogenic contaminant that differs in several ways
from most other well-studied organic chemicals found in drinking water. PFOA is extremely …

Long-chain perfluoroalkylated acids are persistent in the environment, leading to ubiquitous
exposure of biota. They have been listed as very persistent, very bioaccumulative and toxic …

The elemental characteristics of the fluorine atom tell us that replacing an alkyl chain by a
perfluoroalkyl or polyfluorinated chain in a molecule or polymer is consequential. A brief …

The behavior of polyfluoralkyl acids (PFAAs) from intake (raw source water) to finished
drinking water was assessed by taking samples from influent and effluent of the several …
