  1. 1. Impact of PFAS exposure on the fecal metabolome

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Lisa Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : Gut metabolites; LC-qTOF-MS; PFAS;

    Abstract : The human gut microbiota plays a crucial role in human health and therefore imbalances in gut microbiota functioning can lead to the development of metabolic disorders. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites, bile acids (BA) and other metabolites are the essential compounds for the metabolome. READ MORE

  3. 2. Could fluorinated pharmaceuticals have an impact on the EOF amount in human blood?

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Tilda Alvén Fimmerstad; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Recent studies have discovered an increasing amount of unknown organofluorine in human blood. This increase insinuate that humans might be exposed to potentially new and unidentified organofluorine compounds. 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. Method development for the analysis of PFAS and neutral precursors in active and passive air samplers

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Pascal Camoiras González; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a chemical class of global concern because of their persistence, toxicity and widespread presence in the environment. This work aimed to develop a robust and reliable method to analyse perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), as well as the neutral volatile PFOS precursors, namely perfluorooctane sulfonamides and perfluorooctane sulfonamidoethanols (FOSAs/FOSEs).

  6. 5. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and related chemicals in eggs from Sweden and China

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Yasmin Karimi; [2019]
    Keywords : PFOS; PFOA; Chicken Egg; LC-MS MS; Organic egg; Conventional egg;

    Abstract : Dietary intake is one of the major routes of human exposure to perfluoroalkyl and/or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The objective of this study was to measure perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS) in organic and conventional egg from Sweden (n=8, consisted of 4 pooled eggs and 4 individuals) and China (n=9, consisted of 4 pooled eggs and 5 individuals) and compare the concentrations of PFAS between the two categories (organic and conventional).
