Prediction of Fraction Unbound in Human Plasma for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: Evaluating Transfer Learning as an Algorithmic Solution to the Problem of Sparse Data.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Fraction unbound in plasma () is a crucial parameter in physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) models, representing the fraction of a chemical compound that is not sequestered by plasma proteins when present in the bloodstream. This is often used...

Occurrence, Sources, and Prioritization of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in Drinking Water from Yangtze River Delta, China: Focusing on Emerging PFASs.

Molecules (Basel, Switzerland)
As regulations ban legacy PFASs, many emerging PFASs are being developed, leading to their release into the aquatic environment and drinking water. However, research studies on these emerging PFASs in drinking water are limited, and current standards...

PFHxA and PFHxS promote breast cancer progression in 3D culture: MEX3C-associated immune infiltration revealed by bioinformatics and machine learning.

Journal of hazardous materials
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants with widespread use and bioaccumulative potential. Short-chain PFAS such as perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) and perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS) have been introduced...

Unveiling PFAS hazard in European surface waters using an interpretable machine-learning model.

Environment international
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as "forever chemicals", are ubiquitous in surface waters and potentially threaten human health and ecosystems. Despite extensive monitoring efforts, PFAS risk in European surface waters remai...

Assessing the association of multi-environmental chemical exposures on metabolic syndrome: A machine learning approach.

Environment international
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major global public health concern due to its rising prevalence and association with increased risks of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Emerging evidence suggests that environmental chemical exposures may pl...

Modeling PFAS Sorption in Soils Using Machine Learning.

Environmental science & technology
In this study, we introduce PFASorptionML, a novel machine learning (ML) tool developed to predict solid-liquid distribution coefficients () for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in soils. Leveraging a data set of 1,274 entries for PFAS in ...

Synergistic effect of horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria exposed to microplastics and per/polyfluoroalkyl substances: An explanation from theoretical methods.

Journal of hazardous materials
Microplastics (MPs) and per/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), as emerging pollutants widely present in aquatic environments, pose a significant threat to human health through the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)....

Machine learning for monitoring per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) in California's wastewater treatment plants: An assessment of occurrence and fate.

Journal of hazardous materials
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are significant sources of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pollution, but comprehensive monitoring and management are impractical and cost-prohibitive. To strengthen monitoring programs, we developed mac...

Molecular docking-QSAR-Kronecker-regularized least squares-based multiple machine learning for assessment and prediction of PFAS-protein binding interactions.

Journal of hazardous materials
Ubiquitous per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) threaten human's health and attract worldwide attention. PFAS-mediated toxicity involves adverse effects of PFAS on proteins, and assessment of PFAS-protein binding interactions helps to explain ...

Explainable machine learning models enhance prediction of PFAS bioactivity using quantitative molecular surface analysis-derived representation.

Water research
The extensive use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in industrial and consumer products poses health risks due to their toxicity. Computational toxicology approaches, particularly quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models...
