A Scoping Literature Review of Toxicological Studies on Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

MPMarianthi PapathanasiouHTHaralampos TzoupisKPKonstantinos D. Papavasileiou

Key Points

  • The review aims to summarize existing literature on the toxicological effects of PFAS and their environmental impact.
  • Conducted a scoping literature review on PFAS-related toxicological studies.
  • Analyzed chemical structures and resistance to degradation.
  • Evaluated the implications for environmental safety and health.
  • PFAS exhibit strong environmental persistence due to carbon-fluorine bonds.
  • Many toxicological studies highlight the health risks associated with PFAS exposure.
  • Evidence suggests that PFAS accumulate in living organisms, raising concerns for ecosystems.

Abstract

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) encompass a diverse group of industrial chemicals resistant to both environmental degradation and metabolic breakdown due to the strong carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds dominating their structures...
