چکیده

133 Serum samples collected from Henan donors aged from 0 to 88years were analyzed for 12 perfluorinated compounds (PFCs). Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) accounted for 69.19% of the total PFCs in serum samples, with a median concentration of 1.43 and 1.47ngmL(-)(1), respectively. Other PFCs were detected at much lower concentrations, with median concentrations ranging from 0.03 to 0.37ngmL(-)(1). PFOA and PFOS were positively correlated (r=0.219) in serum samples, indicating that they may have common exposure pathways. For all donors (0-88years), significant increases in PFOA (r=0.239, p<0.01), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) (r=0.185, p<0.05) and PFOS (r=0.175, p<0.05) concentrations over age were found. Median concentrations of PFOA, PFNA, perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), and PFOS were higher in males than in females. Higher PFOA concentrations were found in urban populations than in rural populations. Since PFCs exposure in general population is prevalent, further studies are needed to explore its possible impacts on epidemiological factors.

Perfluorinated alkyl substances in serum of the southern Chinese general population and potential impact on thyroid hormones

In this study, eight perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) and five thyroid hormones (TSH, FT4, FT3, TGAb, and TMAb) were determined in 202 human serum samples of the general population of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan provinces in southern China. Σ8PFASs concentrations ranged from 0.85 to 24.3 ng/mL with a mean value of 4.66 ng/mL. The PFASs composition profiles of human serum samples nearly...

Time trends and the influence of age and gender on serum concentrations of perfluorinated compounds in archived human samples.

Fifty-seven pooled archived human serum samples were analyzed to assess the time trends as well as influence of age and gender on selected perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in Norwegian residents. The study comprised determinations of 19 PFCs in serum samples pooled according to year of collection from 28 years in the period 1976 to 2007. A 9-fold increase in the serum concentrations of perfluoro...

Manures behave similar to superphosphate in phosphorus accumulation in long-term field soils

Repeated application of manures to agricultural soils could cause the accumulation of phosphorus (P) in soils. However, it is unclear if manure P can behave similar to P in soluble fertilizers in accumulation Olsen-P (0.5 mol L-1 NaHCO3 at pH 8.5) in soils. A long-term wheat-maize rotation experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of repeated application of manures on P accumulation i...
