The present study developed an efficient fluorescent approach, based on a supramolecular assembly between gold nanoclusters and calix[4]arene derivatives (C4A-Ds), to detect sever pollutant of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS). For that, a series of C4A-Ds with different chain lengths and positive charges at the wider rim were designed and synthesized. Cytidine-5' phosphate protected gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@CMP) were then assembled with calix[4]arene (LC4AP) to form AuNCs/LC4AP assembly, leading to 8-fold luminescence enhancement via the AIEE effect. However, further binding with PFOS reconstituted the as-formed assembly hrough a competitive effect, generating a fluorescence quenching. Particularly, the linear fluorescence response of AuNCs/LC4AP to PFOS realized a highly sensitive determination of the pollutant PFOS in a wide range (2.0-100 μM). In addition, the developed method successfully detected PFOS in pool water near a fire drill field, being good enough for the practical PFOS determination. The calixarene mediated method, based on the fluorescence "on-off" strategy of metal nanoclusters, is sensitive, rapid-responsive, economical, particularly, suitable for the PFOS determination in practice. It takes full advantage of the molecular recognition and self-assembly of artificial macrocyclic host molecules as a promising strategy for the PFOS determination, and will be highlight to develop new detection methods for PFOS and other poisonous compounds in environments.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic perfluorinated compounds known for their persistence in the environment and reproduction toxicity. PFAS, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), have been identified in the follicular fluid of infertile women. However, the specific of PFOA and PFOS mixture on oocyte quality and female fertility remain unclear.

Prenatal exposure to hazardous environmental pollutants is a critical global concern due to their confirmed presence in umbilical cord blood, indicating the ability of pollutants to cross the placental barrier and expose the fetus to harmful compounds. However, the transplacental transfer efficiencies (TTEs) of many pollutants remain underexplored. Herein, we developed a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method to quantitatively analyze 91 environmental pollutants, including 13 bisphenols (BPs), 18 organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), 7 brominated and other flame retardants (BFRs), 34 phthalates (PAEs), and 19 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), in paired maternal and cord serums.

It is challenging to explore the complex interactions between perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and microplastics in lake sediments. The partnership of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and microplastics in lake sediments are difficult to determine experimentally. This study utilized sediment cores from Taihu Lake to reconstruct the coexistence history and innovatively reveal the collaboration between PFASs and microplastics by using post-hoc interpretable machine learning methods.

In the present study, two most commonly used Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), namely perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), were determined in 45 tap water samples from the city of Isfahan (Iran) by dispersive liquid-liquid extraction (DLLME) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (LC-MS) analysis. Risk assessment was also performed to determine the risk to human health. The mean concentration of PFOA was 38.
