General description

The electrochemical mineralization of environmentally persistent perfluorodecanoic acid was studied.

Application

Perfluorodecanoic acid was used to evaluate the effect of nonadecafluorocapric acid on the levels of six thyroid function variables (thyroid stimulating hormone, free and total thyroxine, free and total triiodothyronine and thyroglobulin).

Decomposition of perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) is of prime importance since they are recognized as persistent organic pollutants and are widespread in the environment. PFCAs with longer carbon chain length are particularly of interest because of their noted recalcitrance, toxicity, and

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has recently attracted attention as a potential health risk following environmental contamination. However, information detailing exposure to perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs) other than PFOA is limited. We measured the concentrations of PFCAs (from perfluorohexanoic acid to perfluorotetradecanoic
