A functionalized porphyrin receptor was prepared to bind perfluorooctanoic acid. UV-Vis spectroscopic analysis showed the receptor gave a rapid colorimetric response that could also be detected visually at environmentally relevant concentrations. Spiked soil samples were used to demonstrate detection of perfluorooctanoic acid without intensive sample pre-treatment or laboratory instrument analysis.

Background: Prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may adversely impact child neurodevelopment; however, epidemiologic findings remain inconclusive because of small sample sizes, limited exposure variability, and differing neurodevelopmental measures. We aimed to investigate the relationship between prenatal PFAS exposure and child behavior.
Methods: We pooled data from nine study sites in the nationwide Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental pollutants increasingly implicated in cardiometabolic risk. This study evaluates the association between serum PFAS exposure and lipid dysregulation, focusing on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), a key cardiovascular risk factor. We analyzed 998 adults from the 2017 to 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), representing a weighted sample of 240 million US adults.

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are fluorinated organic compounds known as forever chemicals that are used in many materials, from cooking appliances to industrial detergents. Given their high chemical stability due to their lipophilic properties and widespread use, PFAS tend to bioaccumulate in the cardiac, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, and neural tissues, resulting in a variety of malignant and non-malignant diseases. Depression is a prevalent mental health condition that affects an individual's activities of daily living.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are extensively used in the petrochemical industry and pose considerable risks to the environment. However, systematic research on PFAS contamination in petrochemical industrial parks remains limited. This study focused on the occurrence, spatial distribution, and sources of 20 typical PFAS in soil (n = 19) and groundwater (n = 13) samples from a petrochemical industrial park in China.
