Elevated levels of perfluoroalkyl acids in family members of occupationally exposed workers: the importance of dust transfer
The exposure pathways of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) to humans are still not clear because of the complex living environment, and few studies have simultaneously investigated the bioaccumulative behaviour of different PFAAs in humans. In this study, serum, dust, duplicate diet, and other matrices were collected around a manufacturing plant in China, and homologous series of PFAAs were analysed...
متن کاملProstate-Specific Antigen and Perfluoroalkyl Acids in the C8 Health Study Population
PURPOSE To inform questions raised by inconsistent findings regarding an association between perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) and prostate cancer by assessing the relationship of PFAAs in human serum to prostate-specific antigen (PSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Using 2005 to 2006 survey data from a large survey population, we compared serum PFAA concentrations in adult males with PSA concentrations a...
متن کاملTreatment Mitigation Strategies for Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Substances
Polyand perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs, commonly referred to as perfluorinated chemicals or PFCs) are a class of anthropogenic chemicals with past and current uses in industrial processes and consumer products. One of the most frequently utilized classes of PFASs are the perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), where their structure consists of a completely fluorinated carbon chain of varying length and...
متن کاملKey scientific issues in developing drinking water guidelines for perfluoroalkyl acids: Contaminants of emerging concern
Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), a group of synthetic organic chemicals with industrial and commercial uses, are of current concern because of increasing awareness of their presence in drinking water and their potential to cause adverse health effects. PFAAs are distinctive among persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) contaminants because they are water soluble and do not break down in the e...
متن کاملPerfluoroalkyl Acids in Maternal Serum and Indices of Fetal Growth: The Aarhus Birth Cohort
BACKGROUND Previous studies indicated an association between intrauterine exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) or perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and lower birth weight. However, these perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) have to some extent been substituted by other compounds on which little is known. OBJECTIVES We investigated the association between specific PFAAs and birth weight, birth length,...
