The essential-use concept is a tool that can guide the phase-out of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and potentially other substances of concern. This concept is a...
In this perspective, we evaluate key and emerging epidemiological and toxicological data concerning immunotoxicity of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are often called ‘forever chemicals’. This colloquialism reflects that many PFAS are recalcitrant to environmental and metabolic...
Background Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are widespread and persistent environmental contaminants. Exposure to several PFASs has been associated with altered...
Fluoropolymers are a group of polymers within the class of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The objective of this analysis is to evaluate the evidence regarding the...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are of concern because of their high persistence (or that of their degradation products) and their impacts on human and environmental...
More than 3000 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are, or have been, on the global market, yet most research and regulation continues to focus on a limited selection of...
Despite decades of research on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), fundamental obstacles remain to addressing worldwide contamination by these chemicals and their...
Granular activated carbon (GAC) and anion exchange resin (AIX) have been successfully demonstrated to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated water...
As a short-chain PFAS, GenX has gained increasing attention in recent years as a hazardous and emerging contaminant in water bodies. However, there is only limited research...
A method of removing a polyfluoroalkyl substance and/or perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) from water comprising contacting water including the PFAS to a nanofibrous composition...
A review of the literature published in 2019 on topics associated with the fate of environmental pollutants is presented. Environmental pollutants covered include...
As a short-chain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance), GenX was produced in recent years to replace traditional long-chain PFASs, such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)....
GenX is an environmental contaminant with wide industrial use and found in drinking water. These chemicals have high bioaccumulation and cause adverse health effects in animals...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known bioaccumulative and persistent chemicals which pollute natural waters globally. However, there exists a lack of granular...
Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) contaminate groundwater, surface water, and finished drinking water internationally. Their ecological persistence and adverse...
PFAS are known bioaccumulative and persistent chemicals which pollute natural waters globally. There exists a lack of granular sorbents to efficiently remove both legacy and...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of toxic chemicals that are ubiquitous in the environment and have contaminated water sources globally. As regulations...
The removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in complex waste streams remains an urgent environmental challenge due to their persistence and resistance to...
As the emergence of novel sorbents brings new possibilities for treatment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), drinking water and wastewater utilities face critical...
