Aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs), containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), are released into the environment during response to fire-related emergencies.... -
Colloidal Side-Chain Fluorinated Polymer Nanoparticles Are a Significant...
Side-chain fluorinated polymers (SCFP) are a class of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that are extensively used in functional textiles as water and stain repellents.... -
Quantifying the impact of PFOA exposure on B-cell development and antibody production
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals; the vast majority are environmentally and biologically persistent, and some have demonstrated toxicity,... -
Immunotoxicity of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: Insights into...
Novel per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were recently identified in drinking water sources throughout North Carolina. These include the perfluoroether acids (PFEAs)... -
Recently Detected Drinking Water Contaminants: GenX and Other Per‐ and...
For several decades, a common processing aid in the production of fluoropolymers was the ammonium salt of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). Because PFOA is persistent,... -

Scientific Basis for Managing PFAS as a Chemical Class
This commentary presents a scientific basis for managing as one chemical class the thousands of chemicals known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). The class includes... -
Measurement of Novel, Drinking Water-Associated PFAS in Blood from Adults...
BACKGROUND: From 1980 to 2017, a fluorochemical manufacturing facility discharged wastewater containing poorly understood per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to the Cape... -
Factors associated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) serum...
In 2017, people living in New Hanover County, North Carolina, learned that for ∼40 years they were unknowingly exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) through... -
Estimation of the Half-Lives of Recently Detected Per- and Polyfluorinated...
To estimate half-lives for novel fluoroethers, the GenX Exposure Study obtained two serum measurements for perand polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for 44 participants of age... -
Bioaccumulation of Novel Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Mice Dosed...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are widespread in the blood of the general human population, and their bioaccumulation is of considerable scientific and regulatory... -
Zürich Statement on Future Actions on Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are man-made chemicals that contain at least one perfluoroalkyl moiety, –CnF2n–. To date, over 4,000 unique PFASs have been used in... -
Widening the Lens on PFASs: Direct Human Exposure to Perfluoroalkyl Acid...
Determining health risks associated with per-/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) is a highly complex problem requiring massive efforts for scientists, risk assessors, and... -
Using Chicken Embryo as a Powerful Tool in Assessment of Developmental...
Chicken embryos are a classical model in developmental studies. During the development of chicken embryos, the time window of heart development is welldefined, and it is... -
The high persistence of PFAS is sufficient for their management as a chemical class
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of synthetic organic substances with diverse structures, properties, uses, bioaccumulation potentials and toxicities.... -
The concept of essential use for determining when uses of PFASs can be phased out
Because of the extreme persistence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and their associated risks, the Madrid Statement argues for stopping their use where they are... -
Strategies for grouping per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to...
Grouping strategies are needed for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), in part, because it would be time and resource intensive to test and evaluate the more than 4700... -
