Journal ArticleDOI

Perfluorooctanesulfonate and related fluorochemicals in human blood from several countries.

TL;DR: The results suggested the existence of sources with varying levels and compositions of perfluorochemicals, and differences in exposure patterns to these chemicals, in various countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perfluoroalkyl sulfonates and perfluorocarboxylates in two wastewater treatment facilities in Kentucky and Georgia.

TL;DR: Concentrations of some PFCs, particularly PFCA, were slightly higher in effluent than in influent, suggesting that biodegradation of some precursors contributes to the increase in PFOA concentrations in wastewater treatment processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contamination profiles of heavy metals, organochlorine pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and alkylphenols in sediment and oyster collected from marsh/estuarine Savannah GA, USA.

TL;DR: Monitoring of fish and shellfish in an aquatic environment serves as an important indicator of the water quality in a given ecosystem, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons remain a cause for significant concern.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence and fate of polycyclic musks in wastewater treatment plants in Kentucky and Georgia, USA.

TL;DR: Concentrations of polycyclic musks in sludge were on the order of several parts per million, and removal efficiencies of HHCB and AHTN in the two WWTPs ranged from 72% to 98%.
