Perfluorooctanoic acid

  1. Home-produced eggs had the highest PFAS levels in Croatia
    Study measuring per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in Croatian eggs across production systems, identifying home-produced eggs as significantly more contaminated and young children as most vulnerable.
  2. PFOA-linked bladder cancer signals identified in transcriptomic analysis
    Study reveals molecular mechanisms linking PFOA exposure to bladder cancer through integrative toxicogenomics and gene expression analysis, identifying key transcriptional signatures for cancer.
  3. Certain nitrogen compounds improved PFOA electrochemical degradation
    Electrochemical degradation of PFOA enhanced by nitrogen-containing compounds with lone-pair electrons; mechanisms involve direct electron transfer and reactive nitrogen species generation.
