Confident elemental composition determination of compounds in complex samples such as natural organic matter (NOM) by ultrahigh resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR-MS) is challenging due to the interference between multiple components in these samples during detection.
Due to global restriction on perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), the use of long-chain perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs, C > 8) and their environmental occurrences have increased. PFOS and PFOA have been known for thyroid disruption, however, knowledge is still limited
Perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs), such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, C8), are a group of industrial chemicals that are detected in the serum of people throughout the world. Long-chain PFCAs (C9 to C13) have high lipophilicity, therefore they may have a
This study investigates electrooxidation of short (C3-C6) and long (C7-C-18) chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) including perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOA) using Si/BDD electrode. The effect of operational parameters (supporting electrolyte type, applied current density, and initial pH) were explored for PFOA removal.
The aim of the present study was to investigate effects of defined mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), at low, environmentally relevant (1× = L), or high (20× = H) doses, on biological responses in Atlantic
