Toxicity

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and microcystin-LR (MCLR) are pervasive pollutants in surface waters that induce significant toxic effects on aquatic organisms. Male rats were more susceptible to the toxic effects of PFO than females.

Roles (5)

RoleDescription
environmental contaminantAny minor or unwanted substance introduced into the environment that can have undesired effects.
xenobioticA xenobiotic (Greek, xenos "foreign"; bios "life") is a compound that is foreign to a living organism. Principal xenobiotics include: drugs, carcinogens and various compounds that have been introduced into the environment by artificial means.
carcinogenic agentA role played by a chemical compound which is known to induce a process of carcinogenesis by corrupting normal cellular pathways, leading to the acquistion of tumoral capabilities.
surfactantA substance which lowers the surface tension of the medium in which it is dissolved, and/or the interfacial tension with other phases, and, accordingly, is positively adsorbed at the liquid/vapour and/or at other interfaces.
endocrine disruptorAny compound that can disrupt the functions of the endocrine (hormone) system
