6. Analysis and human levels of persistent perfluorinated chemicals
Sammanfattning : An extensive use of perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in the last 50 years has resulted in a worldwide spread of these persistent chemicals. Human populations are subjected to a large number of PFCs in ways that are not yet fully explained. LÄS MER
7. Modeling the global fate and transport of perfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS)
Sammanfattning : Perfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS) are persistent contaminants that are widely distributed in the global environment. Despite the fact that these chemicals have been manufactured and used for over 50 years, there has been little scientific and regulatory interest until very recently. LÄS MER
8. Assessing environmental and contaminant stressors in a benthic amphipod
Sammanfattning : Organisms in the aquatic environment encounter numerous stressors throughout their lifespan. Some of them are biotic such as food availability, predators and parasites. Others are abiotic and include shifting salinity and temperature change among others. LÄS MER
9. Fluorine mass balance in wildlife and consumer products : How much organofluorine are we missing?
Sammanfattning : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of anthropogenic pollutants. Many PFASs are highly persistent and have been linked to adverse effects in humans. According to latest estimates, there are more than 4700 PFASs in global commerce, which poses immense challenges for environmental monitoring. LÄS MER
10. Tissue distribution studies and risk assessment of perfluoroalkylated and polyfluoroalkylated substances (PFASs)
Sammanfattning : Perfluoroalkylated and polyfluoroalkylated substances (PFASs) represent a large class of man-made chemicals. These substances have emerged as environmental contaminants due to their extraordinary resistance to degradation, potential for bioaccumulation, toxicity and a global presence in humans, wildlife and the environment.
