Extending the knowledge about PFAS bioaccumulation factors for agricultural plants - A review

Lukas Lesmeister et al.

Summary: The main source of PFASs in agricultural plants is their uptake from contaminated soil. A comprehensive review of >4500 soil-to-plant BAFs for 45 PFASs from 24 studies involving 27 genera of agricultural crops revealed that factors such as plant growth stage and type can significantly affect the transfer of PFASs, and the number of perfluorinated carbons absorbed by plants can impact the levels of BAFs.

The concentration of several perfluoroalkyl acids in serum appears to be reduced by dietary fiber

Michael W. Dzierlenga et al.

Summary: This study found a negative association between dietary fiber intake and serum concentrations of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), indicating that dietary fiber increases the gastrointestinal excretion of PFAS. Further research is warranted to explore the potential impact of fiber on the relationship between serum cholesterol and PFAS.

Source, transportation, bioaccumulation, distribution and food risk assessment of perfluorinated alkyl substances in vegetables: A review

Yiran Zhou et al.

Summary: The contamination of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in agricultural products has recently become a topic of increasing concern. Research has highlighted the relationship between PFASs and vegetables, emphasizing factors such as carbon chain length and vegetable species that affect PFAS migration and bioaccumulation. While studies suggest low consumption risk for most vegetables concerning PFOA and PFOS, research on other substances remains limited.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the soil-plant system: Sorption, root uptake, and translocation

Weiping Mei et al.

Summary: PFASs are widely present in the environment and the soil-plant system plays a crucial role in their bioaccumulation. Research shows that the root concentration factor of PFASs is not related to hydrophobicity, while the translocation factor is negatively correlated with PFAS hydrophobicity. Further studies on different forms of PFASs and their interactions with plants are needed for a comprehensive understanding of their environmental fate in the soil-plant system.

Stress response and tolerance to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in lettuce (Lactuca sativa)

Pengyang Li et al.

Summary: Limited understanding of stress response and tolerance to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in plants exists at physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels. Lettuce exposed to PFOS showed accumulation of PFOS in leaves and roots, with different reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and defensive mechanisms observed between the two parts. Multiple defensive strategies in roots contribute to the high tolerance to PFOS.

A review of responses of terrestrial organisms to perfluorinated compounds

Yanping Cai et al.

Summary: Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are a class of persistent organic pollutants widely distributed in the environment, with significant impact in soil environments necessitating toxicological assessment on terrestrial organisms. The effects of PFCs on soil microorganisms, plants, and earthworms mainly accelerate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in terrestrial organisms, calling for further in-depth research on the complex soil environment.

Toxic effects and mechanisms of PFOA and its substitute GenX on the photosynthesis of Chlorella pyrenoidosa

Yanyao Li et al.

Summary: The study showed that both PFOA and GenX had negative effects on the growth, chlorophyll content, and photosynthetic activity of Chlorella pyrenoidosa. GenX may not be an ideal substitute for PFOA, and more attention should be paid to the management of emerging perfluoroalkyl substances.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) caused oxidative stress and metabolic disorders in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) root

Pengyang Li et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of PFOA on oxidative stress and metabolic regulation in lettuce roots, revealing that environmentally relevant concentrations of PFOA significantly perturbed metabolisms in plant roots despite no remarkable cell damage being induced.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) changes nutritional compositions in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) leaves by activating oxidative stress

Pengyang Li et al.

Summary: The study found that the presence of PFOA in the environment can cause accumulation of compounds in lettuce leaves, while also activating antioxidants to eliminate ROS. However, the presence of PFOA also increased the content of some nutrients, such as primary metabolites and secondary metabolites.
