1. Determinants of serum perfluoroalkyl acid concentrations in Swedish adolescents and the importance of drinking water as a source of exposure
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : The persistent and toxic perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are ubiquitously present in the environment and reach humans predominantly via food and drinking water. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of low-grade (<10 ng L-1 of single PFAAs) contaminated PFAAs drinking water on serum PFAA concentrations in a representative Swedish adolescent population, and to examine the influence of potential determinants on the variation of the PFAAs serum concentrations.

2. Method development of total oxidizable precursor assay for perfluoroalkyl acid precursors in domestic sludge
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikAbstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent organic pollutants used in industrial applications and are globally distributed in the environment. A group of PFASs that are difficult to measure with today’s method are perfluoroalkyl acid precursors (PFAA precursors) that, when degraded, serves as indirect sources of PFAAs. READ MORE
