The aim of this study was to assess the soil-water partitioning behavior a wider range per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) onto soils covering diverse soil properties. PFASs studied include perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs), perfluoroalkane sulfonates (PFSAs), fluorotelomer (FTSs), nonionic sulfonamides (FASAs), cyclic PFAS (PFEtCHxS), ether acids (GenX, ADONA, 9Cl-PF3ONS), three aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF)-related zwitterionic (AmPr-FHxSA, TAmPr-FHxSA, 6:2 FTSA-PrB)....
Polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFCs) have been used worldwide for more than 50 years in a wide variety of industrial and consumer products. Limited data exist on human exposure to PFCs the Southern Hemisphere. Human blood serum collected southeast Queensland, Australia, 2006-2007 from 2420 donors was pooled according age (cord blood, 0-0.5, 0.6-1, 1.1-1.5, 1.6-2, 2.1-2.5, 2.6-3, 3.1-3.5, 3.6-4, 4.1-6, 6.1-9, 9.1-12, 12.1-15, 16-30, 31-45, 46-60, > 60 years) gender analyzed eight PFCs. Across all...
Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) are emerging environmental contaminants with a global distribution. Due to their moderate water solubility, the majority of burden is assumed be in phase. This work describes application first passive sampler for quantitative assessment concentrations perfluorinated alkylcarboxylates (PFCAs) and sulfonates (PFSAs) water. The based on modified Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Sampler (POCIS) weak anion exchange sorbent as receiving Sampling rates were between...
Artificial sweeteners are used as sugar substitutes in our daily lives yet consumption and release patterns currently unknown Australia. The spatial distribution of artificial sweetener WWTP effluent emission Australia was estimated by wastewater analysis. Wastewater influent samples were collected from 69 WWTPs across during the week 2016 Australian census. Mean population-weighted per capita loads for individual (cyclamate, aspartame, acesulfame, sucralose, saccharin) ranged 0.12 ± 0.14 mg...
The in-sample stability of selected pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs, and their metabolites in wastewater was assessed under six different conditions-untreated, addition hydrochloric acid or sodium metabisulfite solution, combined with without sterile filtration, at four representative temperatures, 35 °C for up to 28 days, 22 56 4 -20 196 freeze/thaw cycles 24 weeks. Paracetamol, 6-monoacetylmorphine, morphine, cocaine were poorly stable untreated wastewater-e.g., 50% transformation within...
Historical use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at firefighting training grounds (FTGs) has prompted questions regarding possible PFAS retention within concrete subsequent releases to the environment. This investigation seeks better understand release five from cores collected a legacy FTG. The vertical profile were assessed, then surface ponding rainfall simulations conducted on cores. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) had highest concentrations in both core (up 10,000 μg kg−1)...
Drug consumption in prisons is a concern for the safety of incarcerated people and staff. Typically, drug use prevalence estimated through urinalysis intelligence operations, which can be intrusive stressful. An alternative approach, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), was used this study to estimate licit illicit drugs entire population prison Australia. Wastewater samples were collected from March December 2020, covering periods no restrictions when access restricted prevent transmission...
Elevated levels of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and elevated detection frequency chloro-substituted PFOS have been reported in Australian firefighters with historical exposure to aqueous-film forming foam (AFFF). The aim this study is estimate the apparent half-lives Cl–PFOS isomers following end 3M-AFFF. Paired serum samples from 120 firefighters, collected approximately five years apart, were analyzed for 8-Cl–PFOS (8-chloroperfluoro-1-octanesulfonic acid) via targeted LC–MS/MS....
Healthy food marketing in the retail environment can be an important driver of fruit and vegetable purchases. In Los Angeles County, Nutrition Education Obesity Prevention (NEOP) program utilized this strategy to promote healthy eating among low-income families that shop at large chain stores. The present study assessed whether self-reported exposure NEOP interventions, including seeing least one store visual, watching in-store cooking demonstration, and/or advertisement, were associated...
The potential for a novel influenza virus to cause pandemic represents significant threat global health. Planning flu, as compared planning other types of hazards, presents some unique challenges businesses, communities, and education institutions. To identify address the that may be faced by major metropolitan universities during flu pandemic, tabletop exercise was developed, offered, evaluated. Its purpose assess existing University Washington (UW) plans policies responding an pandemic. On...
