Environmental-friendly fluorocarbon insulating gases have emerged as the preferred substitutes for SF due to their low global warming potential (GWP) and excellent insulation properties. However, current gases face challenges in meeting multiple perf...
PER: and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose a significant environmental and human health risk due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, mobility, and toxicity. Current PFAS source-allocation methods often demand data on many compounds while over...

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) are two representative per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have attracted increasing attention due to their environmental persistence and potential health risks, while ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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)....
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...
