Here , electron activated dissociation (EAD) has been evaluated to determine whether this orthogonal fragmentation mode can improve qualitative PFAS structure elucidation. Waste water Soil X500R New GenX and legacy PFAS analysis in water and sediment with high selectivity and sensitivity GenX is...
All Rights Reserved "PFAS"1 (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of chemical substances with a specific chemical structure that contain fluorine atoms. The production and use of some PFAS, such as "PFOS" and "PFOA," are now prohibited due to concerns about their impact on ...

Molecular structure of a typical PFAS substance Preliminary evidence of PFAS toxicity was available as early as the 1960s, and animal tests conducted by PFAS producing companies in the 1970s concluded that PFOS and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) should be regarded as toxic. In 1998, the United ...
(PFAS) have been developed, according to estimates. Due to their water, fat and dirt-repellent properties, they are used in thousands of products such as cosmetics, dental floss, but also in pan coatings and fire-extinguishing foam. In addition to their basic chemical structure, PFAS have ...
Exposure to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has been associated with significant alterations in female reproductive health. These include changes in menstrual cyclicity, timing of menarche and menopause, and fertility outcomes, as well as increased risk of endometriosis, all of which may...
This definition is based purely on chemical structure. Identification of a substance as a PFAS does not necessarily mean that it is toxic1. Estimates of the number of substances that meet the PFAS definition vary fr...

This paper describes a database framework that enables one to rapidly explore systematics in structure-function relationships associated with new and emerging PFAS chemistries. The data framework maps high dimensional information associated with the SMILES approach of encoding molecular structure with function...
Because of the structure of these chemicals, they’re able to have these (nonstick, water-repellent and temperature-regulating) properties. CNN: Should we be worried about them? Marsit: I definitely think we should be concerned. One — they’re found in pretty much every person in the ...
