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.

Bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in marine biota from the Belgian North Sea: Distribution and human health risk implications

16 Aug 2022 | Environ Pollut

Potential human consumption risks were expected for some PFAS-contaminated species such as brown shrimp, plaice, sole, and whiting.

[Scientific Poster] Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: A Preliminary Evaluation of Groundwater Contamination in the Western States

15 Aug 2022

A map of estimated PFAS groundwater contamination created from groundwater data and geostatistical tools found very few areas in major aquifers where PFAS concentrations are under the new EPA health advisory limits.

Food Grown on Fire Stations as a Potential Pathway for Firefighters’ Exposure to Per-and Poly-Fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

15 Aug 2022 | Environ. Int.

Firefighters may be most exposed to PFAS by consuming food grown on fire stations, followed by incidental ingestion and dermal absorption of PFAS in dust.

Association between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances exposure and risk of diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

15 Aug 2022 | J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol

Exposure to PFAS may increase diabetes risk among the general population, and PFOA may exert a non-monotonic dose-response effect on diabetes risk.
