  1. 1. The Role of Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) contaminated food for male infertility : A Scoping review

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för hälso- och vårdvetenskap (HV)

    Author : Tehseen Kamran; [2023]
    Keywords : Per-or polyfluoroalkyl substances; diet; food; male infertility;

    Abstract : Background: The trend of male infertility is increasing and it correlates with industrial development which has introduced various industrial contaminants in the environment and human life. PFASs are one of those contaminants. Humans are exposed to PFAS through various routes and sources, especially through food and diet. READ MORE

  3. 2. Phytoremediation potential for poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) using various plant species

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Tien-Chi Wu; [2021]
    Keywords : phytoremediation; PFAS; mustard; sunflower; industrial hemp; soil; plant;

    Abstract : Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have unique chemical characteristics and are used in a wide variety of products. PFASs have been found in wild animals and humans and have shown adverse effects. Different remediation methods have been developed to remediate PFASs in the environment. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of selected parameters of Total Oxidisable Precursor Assay on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Sofia Francois; [2021]
    Keywords : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances PFASs ; Total oxidisable precursor TOP assay; solidphase extraction SPE ; washing steps; PFAS precursor compounds.;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are man-made fluorinated compounds that havebeen detected in humans, the environment, and wildlife. The strong C-F bonds contribute tothe high thermal stability of some PFASs and make them extremely resistant to degradationunder normal environmental conditions. READ MORE

  5. 4. Quantification of target per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and extractable organic fluorine (EOF) in crayfish from Lake Vättern, Sweden.

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Wilma Villbrand; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFASs) are a family of persistent organic pollutants in which the aliphatic carbon chains have been fluorinated, either completely or partially. One subclass of PFASs are perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), in which perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) and perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs) are two prominent groups. READ MORE

  6. 5. Bindning av PFAS-ämnen till humus- och fulvosyror : en dialysstudie

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Johannes Kikuchi; [2020]
    Keywords : PFOS; PFOA; sorption; kinetics; dissolved organic matter; natural organic matter; DOC; DOM; membrane;

    Abstract : To make more accurate predictions of the mobility of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in soil and water, better understanding of PFAS sorption to components of the terrestrial and aquatic systems is needed. This study investigated the possible sorption of a range of PFAS compounds with varying chemistries to humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) using a dialysis bag experimental set-up. READ MORE
