Abstract:Perfluoroethylcyclohexane sulfonate (PFECHS) is an emerging per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance used to replace perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), mainly in aircraft hydraulic fluids. However, previous research indicates the potential neurotoxicity of this replacement chemical. In this study, marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) was exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of PFECHS (concentrations: 0, 0.08, 0.26, and 0.91 μg/L) from the embryonic stage for 90 days. After exposure, the brain and eyes of t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
