  2. 11. Molecular and phenotypical toxicological effects of environmental pollutants and their mixtures : A mechanistic approach

    Author : Greta Nilén; Steffen Keiter; Maria Larsson; Nikolai Scherbak; Magnus Engwall; Malin Celander; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmental pollutants; mixtures; soil; zebrafish; Danio rerio; behavior; gene expression; lipidomics; image analysis; PCB126; PFOS; B[a]P; Arsenic; risk assessment;

    Abstract : Current environmental risk assessment of polluted sites primarily relies on single compound evaluation. However, in the environment, organisms are often exposed to complex mixtures of pollutants. READ MORE

  4. 12. Fluorine mass balance in wildlife and consumer products : How much organofluorine are we missing?

    Author : Lara Schultes; Jonathan P. Benskin; Michael McLachlan; Jörg Feldmann; Elsie M. Sunderland; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PFASs; PFOS; fluorine mass balance; organofluorine; EOF; TF; wildlife; consumer products; combustion ion chromatography; high resolution mass spectrometry; suspect screening; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  5. 13. Brominated flame retardants and perfluoroalkyl acids in Swedish indoor microenvironments : Implications for human exposure

    Author : Justina Björklund; Cynthia de Wit; Thomas Webster; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PBDEs; HBCD; PFOS; PFOA; indoor air; indoor dust; breast milk; human exposure; emission; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Humans are exposed to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as brominated flame retardants (BFRs, specifically polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD)) and perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs, specifically perfluoroalkane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)). They are used in consumer products found in cars, offices, homes and day care centers. READ MORE

  6. 14. Sources, transport and fate of perfluoroalkyl acids in the atmosphere

    Author : Jana Johansson; Ian Cousins; Tom Harner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Perfluorinated alkyl acids; PFOS; PFOA; Isomers; Sources; Atmospheric transport; Sea spray; Gas-particle partitioning; Volatilisation; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are man-made chemicals which have been observed in the global environment, even in locations far away from where they are emitted. These persistent substances are taken up in humans and biota and may have toxic effects. READ MORE

  7. 15. Immunohepatotoxicity of the persistent environmental pollutants perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)

    Author : Mousumi Rahman Qazi; Joe DePierre; Christopher Lau; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Perfluorooctanoate; Perfluorooctane sulfonate; Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha; Hepatomegaly; Immunotoxicity; Thymus; Spleen; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), manufactured for a variety of industrial and consumer applications, are ubiquitous environmental pollutants. Their accumulation in humans and wildlife raises serious health concerns. Here, we examined the potential effects of PFOA and PFOS on the innate immune system in mice. READ MORE
