Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) contamination of aquatic system has attracted widespread attention in recent years. From both plant and microbial perspectives, the ecological risk of CWs by comparing PFASs with different chain lengths have not been fully understood. In this study, the influences of perfluorobutyric acid (PFBA) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) as typical of short- and long-chains on the ecological effect of CWs have been specifically studied. The results showed that plants produced oxidative stress response and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) in leaves were stimulated by 17.23-28.13% and 10.49-14.17% upon 10 mg/L PFBA and PFOA exposure. Under the high level of PFBA and PFOA stress, the chlorophyll content was reduced by 15.20-39.40% and lipid peroxidation was observed in leaves with the accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA) at 1.20-1.22 times of the control. Dehydrogenase (DHA) exhibited the most sensitivity in the presence of PFBA and PFOA with an inhibition ratio of over 90%. The biotoxicity of PFOA was higher than that of PFBA in terms of the inhibition degree of several substrate enzymes. The information of Illumina Miseq sequencing indicated that the diversity and structure of microbial community in CWs were significantly altered by PFBA and PFOA addition and led to an enrichment of more PFASs-tolerant bacteria.

Background: Recently, environmental pollution has become a significant concern for human, animal, and environmental health, fitting within the "One Health" framework. Among the various environmental contaminants, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have gathered substantial attention due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and adverse health effects. This study aimed to compare the levels of 12 PFASs in the fur, liver, and muscle of wild roe deer to evaluate the feasibility of using fur as a non-invasive biomonitoring matrix.

Microplastics (MPs) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are ubiquitous contaminants in environments, yet their co-occurrence and interactions remain insufficiently understood. In this study, we confirmed the concurrent presence of MPs and PFASs and their distinct distribution patterns in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) through a comprehensive sampling and analysis effort. Significant correlations ( < 0.

In the present study, we investigated the effects of a representative of the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) chemical group, namely perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and its alternatives (perfluorobutanoic acid [PFBA] and the hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid [GenX]) on bone homeostasis, a process that mainly depends on osteoblast (OB) and osteoclast (OC) activities at the cellular level. C3H10T1/2 cells and bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) were respectively induced into OBs and OCs, and treated with PFOA, PFBA, and GenX at doses of 0.25, 2.
