In recent years, human and wildlife monitoring studies have identified perfluoroalkyl acids
(PFAA) worldwide. This has led to efforts to better understand the hazards that may be …

Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFSs) are used in industrial and commercial products and can
degrade to persistent perfluorocarboxylates (PFCAs) and perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSAs) …

To better understand the bioaccumulation behavior of perfluoroalkyl contaminants (PFCs),
we conducted a comparative analysis of PFCs and lipophilic organohalogens in a Canadian …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of emerging substances that have
proved to be persistent and highly bioaccumulative. They are broadly used in various …

Short-chain perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), which have less than seven fluorinated carbons,
have been introduced as substitutes for eight-carbon homologue products. In this study …

Research on perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) continues to grow. However, very little is
known about these substances in amphibians. Here we report for the first time on the …

Fluorochemicals have widespread applications and are released into municipal wastewater
treatment plants via domestic wastewater. A field study was conducted at a full-scale …

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of compounds that have become
environmental contaminants of emerging concern. They are highly persistent, toxic …

Because of their global distribution, environmental persistence, and potential risk to human
beings and ecosystems, poly-and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are of particular …

Following the phase-out of long-chain per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), the
textile industry had to find alternatives for side-chain fluorinated polymer based durable …
