Feeding and contaminant patterns of sub-arctic and arctic ringed seals: Potential insight into climate change-contaminant interactions
6 Sep 2022 | Environ. Pollut.
This paper demonstrates an important intersection between climate & toxics: that as climate change drives seals to consume different foods, their consumption of newer contaminants like PFAS may increase.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances exposure and its influence on the intestinal barrier: An overview on the advances
30 Aug 2022 | Sci Total Environ
This review summarizes current relationships between PFAS exposure and intestinal barrier damage and encourages further study to confirm the adverse effects of PFAS on the gastrointestinal tract.
Association between fish oil supplements use and serum per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
29 Aug 2022 | Environ Res
Fish oil supplement consumers did not have increased serum PFAS levels, specifically, but some inverse associations observed between the supplement use and PFOS levels in older adults and females need further study.
Disparities in chemical exposures among pregnant women and neonates by socioeconomic and demographic characteristics: A nontargeted approach
29 Aug 2022 | Environ Res
Participants with higher socioeconomic status tended to have higher PFAS abundances.
Environmentally relevant concentrations of F-53B induce eye development disorders-mediated locomotor behavior in zebrafish larvae
29 Aug 2022 | Chemosphere
F-53B exposure was associated with irregular eye development, leading to vision loss in a human model species.
Raman imaging for the identification of Teflon microplastics and nanoplastics released from non-stick cookware
27 Aug 2022 | Sci. Total Environ.
Scratched non-stick cookware coatings may lead to release of millions of microplastic and nanoplastic particles that may contain Teflon.
Occurrence of Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Ice Cream, Instant Noodles, and Bubble Tea
23 Aug 2022 | J. Agric. Food Chem.
PFAS was detected at high concentrations in fast foods in China, especially after longer and hotter storage conditions, suggesting that PFAS exposure due to the consumption of bubble tea may be of concern.
Comparative toxicokinetics and toxicity of PFOA and its replacement GenX in the early stages of zebrafish
22 Aug 2022 | Chemosphere
At low levels, PFOA and GenX exhibited the same harmful acute effects on a human model species after accounting for differences in each chemical’s bioconcentration.
Prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and childhood adiposity at 7 years of age
21 Aug 2022 | Chemosphere
Prenatal exposure to individual PFAS and mixtures was associated with higher weights in girls and lower weights in boys.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) Exposure Through Munitions in Russia-Ukraine Conflict
19 Aug 2022 | Integr Environ Assess Manag
Detonation of explosives and munitions, which commonly contain PFAS, increases PFAS deposition both locally and long-range, resulting in aftereffects on human health that may last many years after a war.
Low-temperature mineralization of perfluorocarboxylic acids
18 Aug 2022 | Science
Certain PFAS were found to degrade in relatively simple chemical conditions at lab-scale.
