Rinse, rebound, repeat: The challenge of decontaminating PFAS-impacted aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicles
Science
29 Jun 2026 | J. Hazard. Mater.
Field testing of two AFFF-contaminated aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicles found that water rinses removed much of the readily removable target PFAS at first, but added cleaning solvents did little to improve decontamination, PFAS rebounded weeks later, and AOF testing detected far more unidentified fluorinated compounds than target PFAS methods captured.

Science
24 Jun 2026 | Environ Int
The first large-scale survey of PFAS in French seabirds found widespread, species- and site-specific legacy contamination, with PFOS dominating, the highest levels in ocean-feeding gannets, kittiwakes, and Scopoli’s shearwaters, and elevated burdens near estuaries that may indicate contamination hotspots needing further wildlife health monitoring.
