Exposure to per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) causes dental developmental anomalies: Underrecognized risk of fluoride bioaccumulation.
Science
22 Jun 2026 | Environ Sci Technol
8:2 FTOH exposure in mice increased PFOA, 7:3 FTCA, and fluoride in blood, urine, and bone, causing enamel and dentin defects and suggesting some PFAS precursors may be an underrecognized source of fluoride bioaccumulation linked to dental developmental abnormalities.

Early life uptake and elimination of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances in a seasonally invertivorous bird
Science
14 Jun 2026 | Environ Sci Technol
Juvenile house sparrows near urban-industrial PFAS sources had the highest early-life PFAS burdens, likely from maternal transfer and invertebrate-heavy diets, with concentrations declining as they matured, highlighting early development as a vulnerable exposure window in terrestrial birds.

New York state Legislature passes bill limiting PFAS in drinking water
Policy
10 Jun 2026
If signed into law by the Gov. Kathy Hochul, it would set requirements for drinking water to have levels below four parts per trillion for PFOA and PFOS, and below 10 ppt for three other types of PFAS, including PFNA, HFPO-DA known as GenX chemicals, and PFHxS.

Multiple contaminant detection in commercially available chicken-based cat kibbles in Italy
Science
10 Jun 2026 | Front Vet Sci
PFAS were detected in several chicken-based cat kibbles sold in Italy, including PFPeA, PFHxA, and PFNA, adding to concerns that pet food may be an overlooked source of chronic PFAS exposure for cats. PFOA and PFOS were either absent or below quantification limit.

Urine-to-blood partitioning of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances in human biomonitoring: Implications for environmental exposure analysis and bioaccumulation assessment
Science
30 May 2026 | Molecules
Long-chain PFAS such as PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS, and PFNA bioaccumulation shows stronger blood retention due to binding with proteins such as human serum albumin and fatty acid-binding proteins.

Environmental exposure to emerging per‐and polyfluoroalkyl substances and cardiovascular diseases: A mixture analysis
Science
26 May 2026 | Health Science Reports
An NHANES 2015-2020 mixture analysis found that higher serum PFAS exposure, especially PFOA, PFNA, ME-PFOSA-AcOH, was associated with higher risk of cardiovascular impairments such as heart attack, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, and stroke while higher combined PFAS exposure was associated with increased odds of all evaluated cardiovascular outcomes.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in e-waste dust
Science
13 May 2026 | Environ Sci Process Impacts
Dust from Canadian recycling facilities contained many PFAS, especially polyfluoroalkyl phosphate esters, fluorotelomer alcohols, ultrashort PFAS, PFOA, and PFOS, suggesting that workers may face exposure risks and that electronics recycling can release these pollutants into the environment.
