Hexafluoropropylene oxide trimer acid (HFPO-TA) is an emerging environmental pollutant that can accumulate in air and surface water. Currently, it has been widely used in fluoropolymer industry, which could cause serious environmental pollution. Due to the high bioaccumulation, the accumulation of pollutants may have an adverse effect on the normal physiological function of the kidneys.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTriphenyltin (TPT) is a class of organotin compounds that are extensively used in industry and agriculture. They have endocrine-disrupting effects and cause severe environmental contamination. Pollutants may accumulate in the kidneys and cause pathological complications.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTriphenyltin (TPT) is a widely used pesticide that has a negative impact on biological health and production efficiency. In addition, TPT poses a threat to human health through the food chain and environmental pollution. However, the exact mechanism of TPT toxicity remains unclear.

The instrument is compact, with a double-folded optical path configuration. The spectra are densely 10-folded to achieve 0.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA new type of ellipsometer using an integrated analyzer composed of 12 sub-analyzers with different azimuth angles was constructed and studied. By using a two-dimensional CCD array camera to measure the light intensity emerging in parallel from each sub-analyzer with the azimuth angles uniformly distributed in the range of about 180 degrees , the ellipsometric parameters were extracted within the data acquisition time less than 1 second. The ellipsometric parameters for the polished bulk Si sample were measured to show good agreement with the results measured by using another two ellipsometric methods.
