Parental exposure to perfluorobutane sulfonate disturbs the transfer of maternal transcripts and offspring embryonic development in zebrafish
Science
4 Aug 2020 | Chemosphere
Development and growth of embryos were harmed by parental PFBS exposure: higher mortality, slower heart rate, reduced body weight, and neurobehavioral disorders in zebrafish, a human model species.

Are feathers of a songbird model species (the great tit: ) suitable for monitoring perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in blood plasma?
Science
14 Jul 2020 | Environ. Sci. Technol.
Results suggest that feathers cannot be used to estimate PFOA and PFOS concentrations in blood plasma, except when there is a great deal of variation in pollutant concentrations among sites/individual birds.
