Journal ArticleDOI
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the environment: Terminology, classification, and origins
Robert C. Buck,James Franklin,Urs Berger,Jason M. Conder,Ian T. Cousins,Pim de Voogt,Allan Astrup Jensen,Kurunthachalam Kannan,Scott A. Mabury,Stefan P.J. van Leeuwen +9 more
TL;DR: An overview of PFASs detected in the environment, wildlife, and humans, and recommend clear, specific, and descriptive terminology, names, and acronyms for PFAS, can be found in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of selected pharmaceuticals and caffeine in sewage and seawater from Tromsø/Norway with emphasis on ibuprofen and its metabolites.
TL;DR: Relative amounts of the three compounds were determined in different types of water showing characteristic patterns, with hydroxy-ibuprofen being the major component in sewage whereas carboxy-ib uprofen was dominant in seawater samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Levels and trends of poly- and perfluorinated compounds in the arctic environment.
TL;DR: The bulk of the monitoring efforts in biological samples have focused on the perfluorinated carboxylates (PFCAs) and sulfonates ( PFSAs), although there are very few measurements of PFC precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perfluorinated Alkyl Acids in Blood Serum from Primiparous Women in Sweden: Serial Sampling during Pregnancy and Nursing, And Temporal Trends 1996-2010
Anders Glynn,Urs Berger,Anders Bignert,Shahid Ullah,Marie Aune,Sanna Lignell,Per Ola Darnerud +6 more
TL;DR: Temporal trends of blood serum levels of 13 perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAAs) and perfLUorooctane sulfonamide (FOSA) in primiparous women from Uppsala County, Sweden, sampled 3 weeks after delivery 1996-2010 suggest one or several sources of exposure to the latter compounds have been reduced or eliminated, whereas Exposure to the former compounds has recently increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaccumulation of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in selected species from the Barents Sea food web.

TL;DR: Multivariate analyses showed that the degree of trophic transfer of PFAS is similar to that of PCB, DDT and PBDE, despite their accumulation through different pathways.
