Perfluorooctanoic acid: Relationship between repeated inhalation exposures and plasma PFOA concentration in the rat

Reactions in Droplets in Microfluidic Channels

“…They are considered to be chemically and biologically inert and have been used as blood substitutes,150 for liquid ventilation of fetuses,151 for diagnostic ultrasound imaging,152 for cell cultures,153, 154 and in drug delivery 155. Many types of fluorocarbons and fluorinated surfactants are commercially available (however, recent evidence shows that some fluorinated surfactants may accumulate in tissues,156, 157 and therefore such surfactants should be handled with care). Also, fluorocarbons and fluorinated surfactants provide an orthogonal chemistry to reactions conducted in organic phases 158…”

Photocatalytic decomposition of perfluorooctanoic acid by iron and niobium co-doped titanium dioxide

“…Due to its negligible vapor pressure, solubility in water, and moderate sorption to solids, PFOA accumulates and persists in surface waters, and resists natural degradation processes [2]. Toxicological studies demonstrated that exposure to PFOA can lead to developmental and reproductive toxicities, liver damage, and possibly cancer [3,4]. With the impending risks posed to the environment, technologies for the decomposition of PFOA in aqueous media should be developed.…”
