“…Concentrations of eighteen individual PFASs in water and sludge samples are illustrated in Fig PFBS, PFOS and PFOA were the predominant target compounds in the three WWTPs with their detection frequency of 100%, which is consistent with some previous studies (Loganathan et al, 2007;Lin et al, 2010;Arvaniti et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2013). This could be related to the fact that PFBS, PFOS and PFOA are the most frequently used PFASs in industrial applications.…”

“…The mass loads of PFOA, PFOS, perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) and perfluoroundecanoic acid (PFUnDA) were found increased in the secondary biochemical treatment of a WWTP due to the biodegradation of precursors (Sinclair and Kannan, 2006). Concentrations of PFASs varied greatly among different WWTPs, and most studies focused on the activated sludge process (Bossi et al, 2008;Murakami et al, 2008;Guo et al, 2010;Pan et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2013).…”

“…L-FABP has a high affinity and capacity to bind to long-chain fatty acid and its oxidation products. Previous studies have shown that PFAAs may, with a similar structure to fatty acids, successfully compete and bind with these natural ligands for L-FABP (Luebker et al 2002;Zhang et al 2013). Human L-FABP (hL-FABP) may be a potential cytosolic transporter for these major pollutants within the hepatocyte cytoplasm to the nucleus for PPAR-mediated transcriptional regulation and detoxification pathways.…”

“…The final objective was to investigate a data reduction that allows grouping water quality variables into selected factors with common features to describe the behaviour of the plant in terms of pollution sources and treatment efficiency with a few uncorrelated components. Multivariate techniques have been widely applied to grouping water quality variables for different purposes; i.e., the composition of sewage of domestic origin [5], surface water [6,7], water quality from roof runoff [8], river watersheds [9], distribution of organic pollutants [10,11], heavy metal distribution in waters [12], new policy instruments in domestic wastewater treatment systems [13], mineral waters [14], and WWTP [15][16][17], among others. The multivariate statistical analysis employed for this study, besides allowing us to simplify the whole set of analyzed variables, eventually gave unexpected relationships among data, leading us to extract conclusions never expected with a more simplistic statistical approach [18].…”
