  2. 6. Comparative avian developmental toxicity of PFAAs

    Author : Marcus Nordén; Magnus Engwall; Krister Halldin; Anders Bignert; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; chicken; herring gull; cormorant; PFAA; PFOS; PFOA; toxicity; levels; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are persistent organic pollutants that can commonly be found in environmental matrixes and wildlife from all over the globe. The PFAAs have been used in applications such as water and dirt repelling treatments for textiles, oil-resistant paper coatings and fire-fighting foams. READ MORE

  4. 7. Fate of perfluoroalkyl acids in the aquatic environment with a focus on mass balance studies

    Author : Marko Filipovic; Urs Berger; Michael McLachlan; Crispin Halsall; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PFAA; PFOS; AFFF; tap water; ground water; WWTP; mass balance; atmospheric deposition; rivers; Baltic Sea; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are man-made chemicals. Their unique properties make them beneficial for a wide range of industrial and consumer product applications, such as in aqueous film forming foam (AFFF), durable water repellent clothing, hydraulic oils and food packaging materials.

    Abstract : Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are man-made chemicals. Their unique properties make them beneficial for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, such as constituents in fire fighting foams, hydraulic oils and food packaging materials. READ MORE

  6. 9. Perfluroaryl azides : Reactivities, Unique Reactions and their Applications in the Synthesis of Theranostic Agents

    Author : Sheng Xie; Mingdi Yan; Olof Ramström; Stefan Bräse; KTH; []
    Keywords : Click Chemistry; Dipolar Cycloaddition; Enamine; Triazoline; Amidine; Aggregation-induced emission; pure nanodrugs; aryl amide; thioacid azide reaction; nucleophilic aromatic substitution; azide-masked fluorophore; nitrene insertion; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The work centersaround perfluoroaryl azides (PFAAs), and theirability to undergo certain fast and robusttransformations. The chemistry was furtherappliedfor biomedical applications.The first section focuses on the azide-aldehyde-amine cycloaddition using PFAAs. READ MORE

  7. 10. 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
