• Software Comparison for Nontargeted Analysis of PFAS in AFFF-Contaminated Soil

  Science

  2 Dec 2020 | J Am Soc Mass Spectrom

  FluoroMatch and Compound Discoverer were found to both produce high-quality data that were useful for assessing PFAS contamination in the soil.

• Groundwater contamination by fluorinated aromatics: benzotrifluoride and its derivatives

  Science

  2 Dec 2020 | Chemosphere

  After >40 years, benzotrifluorides are still present in the μg L-1 concentration range in groundwater.

• Correlation Analysis of Perfluoroalkyl Substances in Regional U.S. Precipitation Events

  Science

  2 Dec 2020 | Water Res

  HFPO-DA (GenX) was detected in rainwater at all sites with local point sources strongly contributing to wet deposition.

• US EPA recommends testing wastewater for PFAS

  Policy

  1 Dec 2020

  Some facilities may have to test for the presence of PFAS in their wastewater, under a new strategy from the US Environmental Protection Agency

• Toxic ‘forever chemicals’ found in pesticide used on millions of Mass. acres when spraying for mosquitoes

  News

  1 Dec 2020 | Boston Globe

  Now, after years of criticism from environmental advocates who have long raised health concerns about the expensive treatment known as Anvil 10+10, the pesticide has been found to also contain an array of toxic compounds known as PFAS.

• Desorption of Poly-and Perfluoroalkyl Substances from Soil Historically Impacted with Aqueous Film-Forming Foam

  Science

  1 Dec 2020 | J Env Eng

  Short-chain PFAS were found to remain in soils and not diffuse into the water as readily as long-chain counterparts.

• Spatial distribution, sources and risk assessment of perfluoroalkyl substances in surface soils of a representative densely urbanized and industrialized city of China

  Science

  1 Dec 2020 | Catena

  Total PFAS content was negatively correlated with soil pH but positively with soil organics.

• Effects of gestational exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate on the lung development of offspring rats

  Science

  1 Dec 2020 | Environ Pollut

  PFOS may contribute to the increasing incidence of developmental lung diseases by elevating lung inflammation and inhibiting lung development.

• Cohort profile: China National Human Biomonitoring (CNHBM)-A nationally representative, prospective cohort in Chinese population

  Science

  1 Dec 2020 | Toxics

  Exposure to GenX, PFOA, and PFOS may have profound effects in patients with pre-existing lung conditions or could lead to cancer.

• The high persistence of PFAS is sufficient for their management as a chemical class

  Science

  1 Dec 2020 | Environ Sci Process Impacts

  We argue that this high persistence is sufficient concern for their management as a chemical class, and for all "non-essential" uses of PFAS to be phased out.
