Machine learning-enhanced molecular network reveals global exposure to hundreds of unknown PFAS.

Science advances
Unknown forever chemicals like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are difficult to identify. Current platforms designed for metabolites and natural products cannot capture the diverse structural characteristics of PFAS. Here, we report an au...

Adsorptive removal of perfluorooctanoic acid from aqueous matrices using peanut husk-derived magnetic biochar: Statistical and artificial intelligence approaches, kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics.

Chemosphere
Removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from water matrices is crucial owing to its pervasiveness and adverse ecological and human health effects. This study investigates the adsorptive removal of PFOA using magnetic biochar (MBC) derived from FeCl-...

Prediction of critical micelle concentration for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.

SAR and QSAR in environmental research
In this study, we focus on the development of Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) models to predict the critical micelle concentration (CMC) for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). Experimental CMC values for both fluorinated...

An artificial intelligence platform for automated PFAS subgroup classification: A discovery tool for PFAS screening.

The Science of the total environment
Since structural analyses and toxicity assessments have not been able to keep up with the discovery of unknown per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), there is an urgent need for effective categorization and grouping of PFAS. In this study, we pr...

Predicting molecular docking of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances to blood protein using generative artificial intelligence algorithm DiffDock.

BioTechniques
This study computationally evaluates the molecular docking affinity of various perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) towards blood proteins using a generative machine-learning algorithm, DiffDock, specialized in protein-ligand blind-do...

Investigation of the Binding Fraction of PFAS in Human Plasma and Underlying Mechanisms Based on Machine Learning and Molecular Dynamics Simulation.

Environmental science & technology
More than 7000 per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) have been documented in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's CompTox Chemicals database. These PFAS can be used in a broad range of industrial and consumer applications but may pos...

Thyroid endocrine disruption and hepatotoxicity induced by bisphenol AF: Integrated zebrafish embryotoxicity test and deep learning.

The Science of the total environment
Bisphenol AF (BPAF) is an emerging contaminant prevalent in the environment as one of main substitutes of bisphenol A (BPA). It was found that BPAF exhibited estrogenic effects in zebrafish larvae in our previous study, while little is known about it...

Supervised machine learning for source allocation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in environmental samples.

Chemosphere
Environmental contamination by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is widespread, because of both their decades of use, and their persistence in the environment. These factors can make identification of the source of contamination in samples a...

Preliminary investigation on cytotoxicity of fluorinated polymer nanoparticles.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
As well-known persistent organic pollutants (POPs), organofluorine pollutants such as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) have been proven to be bioaccumulated and harmful to health. However, toxicological assessment of organofluorinated nanoparticles, ...

Occurrence of perfluoroalkyl substances in matched human serum, urine, hair and nail.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
The purpose of this study was to determine perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in human serum, urine, hair and nail from general populations, and to investigate the possibility for human urine, hair and nail used as the biomonitoring sample for PFASs e...
