Unforeseen risks due to the use of fluorinated materials for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance removal
Science
30 Dec 2025 | Nature
Researchers report that fluorinated materials used for PFAS removal may inadvertently release additional fluorinated compounds during production, use, or disposal, suggesting that non-fluorinated alternatives offer safer options for treatment technologies.

A Componential Evaluation of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Streams
Science
30 Dec 2025 | Environ Sci Technol
PFAS were detected in every major waste component, with PFAS-treated textiles, which make up only about 9 percent of the waste stream, contributed roughly 38 percent of all leachable PFAS, identifying them as a dominant source of PFAS release from municipal solid waste from waste collected from Central Florida.

Shaw Industries invents testing methodology to detect PFAS
News
19 Dec 2025 | Floor Covering Weekly
“What we discovered is that drinking water testing wasn’t accurate for soaps, oils, resins and other solid materials—really anything other than drinking water. An adequate testing methodology didn’t exist, so we invented one.”

Reevaluating PFAS exposure risks from marine fish
Science
18 Dec 2025 | Science
A global modeling analysis finds that legacy PFAS exposure from marine fish may now be low for most countries due to production phaseouts, yet remains higher in places with very high seafood intake such as Greenland and Denmark, offering important insight for refining fish consumption guidance and noting where potential risk persists.

PFAS Action group announces interactive map collecting ‘Eat Safe Fish’ guidelines for Michigan
News
11 Dec 2025 | Michigan Advance
On Tuesday, the group launched its 'Eat Safe Fish' mapping tool, which it developed in collaboration with the Ecology Center, collecting the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services 2025 'Do Not Eat' and consumption limitation advisories into an interactive map.

A Dominating Role of Functional Groups in Short-Chain Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance (PFAS) Accumulation by Fruiting Plants
Science
11 Dec 2025 | Environ Sci Technol
Tomato plants were found to preferentially move short-chain PFAS with carboxylic acid groups into fruits while sulfonic acid PFAS are largely retained in roots and leaves, which could influence potential dietary exposure and guide crop choices in contaminated areas.

New York Farm Bureau calls for state to test sewage sludge for PFAS
News
5 Dec 2025 | Spectrum News 1
The New York Farm Bureau will oppose the land application of contaminated sewage sludge and encourage testing prior to spreading, a change from their supportive position last year, the organization announced Friday.

Development and validation of an LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of 39 PFAS in soil samples: applications to playgrounds in Attica, Greece
Science
4 Dec 2025 | Anal Bioanal Chem
An optimized research method was found to be a useful tool for environmental and public-health decision making by reliably detecting 39 PFAS in playground soils, and the results suggest that some PFAS levels may potentially exceed a precautionary child-health screening value of about 100 ng per kg of body weight per day.

EWG to Lee Zeldin: PFAS pesticides are bad news, not ‘fake news’
News
2 Dec 2025 | EWG
The EPA uses a narrow definition of PFAS that excludes PFAS pesticides it’s recently approved. Under this definition, only three currently approved pesticide active ingredients would be considered PFAS: broflanilide, pyrifluquinazon and noviflumuron.

Lab-scale insights into the environmental fate of emerging contaminants from airport runoff
Science
1 Dec 2025 | J Contam Hydrol.
Laboratory evidence indicates that only some contaminants in airport runoff are naturally diminished during contact with sediments, whereas PFAS remain largely persistent, raising concerns about whether soil aquifer treatment can adequately protect groundwater from these chemicals.

Assessing PFAS exposure in Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni) populations adjacent to the former Rocky Flats nuclear site: A preliminary analysis.
Science
1 Dec 2025 | PLoS One
Preliminary analysis finds that PFOS was consistently detected in elk livers at both Rocky Flats and control sites while PFOA was not detected, suggesting that PFOS may accumulate in elk regardless of proximity to known contamination sources and highlighting potential wildlife exposure pathways and implications for game consumption.
