TL;DR

This pilot study provides some of the first estimates of PFAS exposure among prostate cancer patients in serum and tap water, showing moderate correlations between tap water and serum concentrations of specific PFAS analytes.

Association between serum perfluoroalkyl substances and COPD risk: population evidence and in vitro validation.

Mixture exposure showed a significant positive association with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk, and these substances disrupt pulmonary homeostasis through concurrent molecular activation and lipid-metabolic disturbance, evidenced by triglyceride-glucose index mediation.

Serum concentrations of legacy, alternative, and precursor per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances: a descriptive analysis of premenopausal participants in the Canadian CARTaGENE cohort

The findings suggest that exposure to low levels of some alternative and precursor PFAS may be widespread in Canada and reinforce the role of pregnancy and breastfeeding as excretion pathways for legacy PFAS and support previous investigations demonstrating that exposure to some PFAS may be lower amongst financially disadvantaged populations.

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Exposure, Obesity Patterns, and Hypertension among Young Men

Exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) has been associated with hypertension in some populations, but the associations among young men and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We measured 16 plasma PFAS and assessed obesity and hypertension (blood pressure ≥130/80 mmHg) among 1283 Chinese young men. In total, 449 (35.0%) men had hypertension. Plasma 6:2 fluorotelomer phosphate diester (6:2 diPAP) concentrations were positively associated with hypertension in a linear dose–response manner (OR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.01–1.16 per 2.7-fold increase), with an OR of 1.43 (1.07–1.90) for the highest versus lowest exposure tertile. Individual obesity indicators (body mass index [BMI], waist circumference, and waist-to-height ratio [WHtR]) explained 8.6%–19.2% of the association between 6:2 diPAP and hypertension. A machine learning-derived three-level obesity severity spectrum integrating WHtR and BMI (normal, elevated central adiposity alone, and elevated central adiposity with overweight) explained 36.9% of the association. In summary, exposure to 6:2 diPAP was associated with higher odds of hypertension among young men, partly mediated by obesity, with an integrated body shape pattern combining central and general adiposity showing the largest mediating effect.

Effects of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Exposure Reduction on Serum Lipids in the Copenhagen City Heart Study: A Protocol for an Observational Cohort Study Emulating a Target Trial

This protocol explores applying the target trial emulation framework to improve causal inference in environmental epidemiology by emulating a target trial of a hypothetical PFAS-reduction intervention using observational data from the Copenhagen City Heart Study.
