Grandjean, Philippe. Delayed discovery, dissemination, and decisions on intervention in environmental health: a case study on immunotoxicity of perfluorinated alkylate substances. Environmental Health 17:62 (2018). Identification and characterization of environmental hazards that impact human health must rely on the best possible science to inform and inspire appropriate public health intervention. The perfluorinated alkylate substances (PFAS) […]

Dixon-Anderson, Erik and Rainer Lohmann. Field-testing polyethylene passive samplers for the detection of neutral polyfluorinated alkyl substances in air and water.  Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry 37, issue 12 (2018): 3002-3010. Fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs), perfluorooctane‐sulfonamidoethanols (FOSEs), perfluorooctane‐sulfonamides (FOSAs), and other poly‐ and perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are common and ubiquitous byproducts of industrial telomerization processes. They […]
