Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances in consumer products
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are used in a wide range of products of all day life. Due to their toxicological potential, an emerging focus is directed towards their exposure to humans. This study investigated the PFAS load of consumer products in a broad perspective. Perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (C4, C6-C8, C10-PFSA), carboxylic acids (C4-C14-PFCA) and fluorotelomer alc...
متن کاملPotential Designated Chemicals: Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs)
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of fluorinated organic chemicals containing at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom. The C-F bond is one of the strongest known covalent bonds, and the multiple C-F bonds in PFASs impart their chemical and thermal stability. The strength of the C-F bond arises, in part, from the electronegativity of the fluorine atom and from ...
متن کاملPrenatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances and childhood atopic dermatitis: a prospective birth cohort study
BACKGROUND Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have been reported to suppress immune function. However, previous studies on prenatal exposure to PFASs and allergic disorders in offspring provided inconsistent results. We aimed to examine the association between prenatal exposure to PFASs and childhood atopic dermatitis (AD) in offspring up to 24 months of age. METHODS A pros...
متن کاملA review of contamination of surface-, ground-, and drinking water in Sweden by perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are found in aquatic systems, flora, and fauna worldwide. These potentially harmful compounds are also frequently detected in Sweden and have already resulted in severe problems for public drinking water supply, i.e., some wells had to be closed due to high PFAS concentrations both in raw water and produced drinking water. Knowledge on PFAS ...
متن کاملPerfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in the Environment: Terminology, Classification, and Origins
The primary aim of this article is to provide an overview of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) detected in the environment, wildlife, and humans, and recommend clear, specific, and descriptive terminology, names, and acronyms for PFASs. The overarching objective is to unify and harmonize communication on PFASs by offering terminology for use by the global scientific, regulat...
