Article Abstract
Information about perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) like perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) and sulfonates (PFSs) in settled dust from emerging and developing countries is still limited, partly due to the lack of efficient analytical methods. In this study, a reliable, simple, and cost-effective analytical procedure was developed and validated to determine 12 PFCAs and 4 PFSs in dust samples. The samples were ultrasonicated with methanol, followed by a dispersive sorbent clean-up step with graphitized carbon and quantification by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. The analytical method exhibited adequate recovery (80-120% for native standards and 50-130% for labeled standards), precision (relative standard deviations < 25%), and detection limits (0.010-0.10 ng/g). The validated method was applied to analyze PFAS concentrations in settled dusts collected from Hanoi, Vietnam. PFASs were frequently detected in the Vietnamese dust samples at relatively low concentrations (median 4.15, max 27.4 ng/g).

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of synthetic chemicals widely used in industrial and consumer applications, known for their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential toxicity. Mounting toxicological evidence suggests that the kidney is a primary target organ for PFAS accumulation, yet human data regarding compound-specific renal effects remain limited. In this community-based prospective cohort study, we investigated the associations between serum PFAS concentrations and renal outcomes in 257 adults, including 48 with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 209 with normal kidney function at baseline.

Objective: Humans are exposed to complex mixtures of environmental chemicals and other factors that can affect their health. Analysis of these mixture exposures presents several key challenges for environmental epidemiology and risk assessment, including high dimensionality, correlated exposure, and subtle individual effects.
Methods: We proposed a novel statistical approach, the generalized functional linear model (GFLM), to analyze the health effects of exposure mixtures.

Karst water bodies are vital groundwater resources particularly vulnerable to pollution. Protecting their water quality requires documenting contaminants traditionally associated with anthropogenic activities (metals, nutrients, and fecal indicator bacteria) as well as emerging contaminants, such as antibiotic-resistant organisms (AROs) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This study detected contaminants in karst-associated water bodies on the Yucatán Peninsula, including 10 sinkholes (cenotes) and one submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) site.

The accurate detection of trace perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in drinking water remains challenging due to nonspecific adsorption losses during pretreatment. This study systematically evaluated the adsorption behaviors of 11 PFAAs across five filtration membranes and four solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbents to establish an optimized analytical protocol. Results demonstrated that glass fiber (GL) filters minimized PFAAs retention (94.

Introduction: Epidemiological studies focusing on the association of exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality are limited, with inconsistent findings.
Objectives: This register-based study aimed to investigate the associations between exposure to PFAS and the risk of CVD morbidity and mortality in a Swedish population exposed to PFAS, dominated by perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), through drinking water for decades.
Methods: The study included 46 553 individuals aged ≥30 who lived in Ronneby (1985-2013).
