Microplastics as vectors of antibiotics, heavy metals, and PFAS from agricultural soils to the food chain: Sources, transport pathways, and human health implications
Science
15 Feb 2026 | J. Hazard. Mater.
PFAS adsorption was generally highest on PET and in polypropylene, indicating that certain widely used polymers may preferentially accumulate PFAS and potentially enhance their transport within agricultural and food systems.

PFAS in commercially available organic amendments and food-contact paper products
Science
1 Feb 2026 | Sci Total Environ
PFHxA and other short-chain PFCAs are dominant in composts and food-contact paper products, with PFOS dominant in biosolid-derived fertilizers, suggesting different waste sources may introduce distinct PFAS mixtures into soils used for gardening and agriculture.

Model-based assessment of adsorption and diffusion of PFASs through concrete as continuous Source of PFASs to the environment
Science
28 Jan 2026 | ACS EST Engg.
Modeling of long-term laboratory data suggests PFAS may slowly diffuse into and back out of concrete, making paved surfaces a potentially persistent secondary source to surface runoff even after active releases stop.

Evaluating Legacy and Emerging PFAS in Human Blood Collected from 2003 to 2021
Science
21 Jan 2026 | Environ Sci Technol
Analysis of U.S. blood samples suggests that although phased-out PFAS such as PFOS and PFOA have declined, replacement PFAS including 9Cl-PF3ONS, 6:2 DiPAP, and related phosphonate and phosphate compounds are increasingly detected, raising concerns since their sources, toxicity, and long-term health relevance remain poorly understood.
