Research efforts continue to gauge the risk that historically used, and newly produced, PFAS may cause to human health. Numerous studies report toxic effects of PFAS on the human liver as well as increased serum cholesterol levels in adults. A major concern with PFAS, also dubbed "forever ...
A. Addressing the effects of PFAS on human health and environment B. Reducing the amount of PFAS being released into the environment C. Finding more effective ways to destroy PFAS in and outside the lab D. Stopping the use of PFAS in everyday life to avoid health problems ...
PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are toxic chemicals that are urgently regulated worldwide. While several adverse effects on the human body are known, including impacts on liver, kidney, and reproductive functions, the effects of 30 different multicomponent PFAS on the human body ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent chemicals with many modern applications, leading to widespread contamination and universal human exposure. PFAS exposure during early life is of particular concern, given susceptibility of the developing fetal and infant brain to toxic exposures....
Our results may hint at a mechanism, whereby PFAS disrupt embryonic development. Abstract Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), includingperfluorooctanesulfonic acid(PFOS) andperfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA), are persistent pollutants routinely found in human blood. PFASs have been associated with health issues...
Since EDCs influence biological processes associated with bone health, they may impact skeletal development and the pathogenesis of osteoporosis later in life. A number of studies have been performed to investigate the action of EDCs in the skeleton and its derivatives, but the results are inconsisten...
PFASs detected in dissolved phase in freshwater impacted by runoff typically occur at ng L−1, while the PFAS concentrations of thousands of μg L−1 can be observed at other sites impacted by firefighting foams (Chen et al., 2017). Due to their potential health hazard to human and ...
Human exposures to legacy PFASs from seafood and drinking water are stable or increasing in many regions, suggesting observed declines reflect phase-outs in legacy PFAS use in consumer products. Many regions globally are continuing to discover PFAS contaminated sites from aqueous film forming foam (...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) poses the leading threats to human health and life, and their occurrence and severity are associated with exposure to environmental pollutants. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of widely used industrial chemicals, are characterized by persistence, long-...
Because of their positive impact on human health, traditional herbal remedies have been used for over 3,000 years (van Wyk and Prinsloo 2020). Livestock animals have been used for over 2000 years (Gong et al. 2014). Producers have gradually recognised the positive impacts of phytogenic feed ...
