Epidemiological studies have shown Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to be associated with diseases of dysregulated lipid sterol homeostasis such as steatosis cardiometabolic disorders. However, the majority mechanistic rely on single chemical exposures instead identifying mechanisms related toxicity PFAS mixtures. The goal current study is investigate linking exposure a mixture alterations in metabolism, including increased circulating cholesterol bile acids. Male female wild-type C57BL/6J mice were fed an atherogenic diet used previous pollutant-accelerated atherosclerosis exposed water containing 5 representing legacy, replacement, alternative subtypes (i.e., PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFHxS, GenX), each at concentration 2 mg/L, for 12 weeks.

We observed cholesterol, metabolites, acids due exposure, some sexual dimorphic effects. hepatic injury, demonstrated liver weight, inflammation, plasma alanine aminotransferase levels. Females displayed lobular portal inflammation compared male PFAS-exposed mice. Hepatic transcriptomics analysis revealed modulated multiple metabolic pathways, those sterols, acids, acyl carnitines, sex-specific differences observed. Finally, we show that levels PFOA females males, but this dimorphism was not same other examined. Exposure results PFAS-mediated modulation levels, possibly through disruption enterohepatic circulation.

Abstract Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), known as the most detected per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in various environmental compartments, have been associated with plastic pollution endocrine dysfunction. Over past 180 years (1839–2019), numerous emerging contaminants identified, PFOA PFOS receiving considerable attention based on scientific evidence publications. Between 2018 2019, experienced a relatively high increase rate of 18.8% 13.6%, respectively. While developed countries made progress establishing stringent guidelines, developing underdeveloped often lack regulations mechanisms to address PFAS. Furthermore, advancements PFAS removal technologies are needed improve their efficacy feasibility.

Some types of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been banned over the last two decades, but millions Americans continue to exposure compounds through drinking water consumer products. Therefore, understanding changes in serum PFAS concentrations after their limited use is necessary protect public health. In this study, we evaluated trends (PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS, PFDA, PFNA) determine distribution among United States general population. We analyzed measured from random subsamples National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) participants. The study results demonstrated that demographic factors such as race/ethnicity, age, sex may influence levels time. Adults, males, Asians, Non-Hispanic Blacks, Whites had high risks selected PFAS.

Abstract Soil and groundwater contamination has always been a global concern. Contaminants are migrated transformed in the soil environments, which turn pose potential environmental risks to humans. This paper describes four typical contaminants, including heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, microplastics, perfluorinated polyfluoroalkyl substances. Based on systematic summary of sources, hazards, migration behaviors these various existing remediation methods analyzed, advantages disadvantages different discussed. Finally, future research prospects described, significance study contaminant subsurface environment is emphasized. can help provide theoretical technical support for removal further improve rate actual sites.
