Whales contribute to novel insight on poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances bioaccumulation in the East China Sea
Science
19 Jan 2026 | Environ. Pollut.
PFAS including long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylates and the PFOS substitute 6:2 Cl-PFESA were widely detected across multiple whale species and tissues from the East China Sea, with species- and tissue-specific accumulation patterns suggesting that PFAS exposure and bioaccumulation may be underestimated or biased when marine monitoring relies on a single bioindicator species.

The occurrence, sources, and health risks of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in pm 2. 5 in Shihezi, a typical inland arid industrial city
Science
19 Jan 2026 | Atmos. Pollut. Res.
PFAS were widely detected in fine particulate air pollution in an arid industrial city, dominated by short chain compounds linked to industrial emissions and atmospheric transformation, suggesting that airborne PFAS exposure may be underestimated when total human exposure, particularly for children.

Occurrence and sources of organic contaminants of emerging concern in indoor dust: A global perspective
Science
14 Jan 2026 | J Hazard Mater
A global review finds PFAS commonly in indoor dust from homes, offices, and schools, particularly in North America, Europe, and East Asia, and identifies PFOS and PFOA as persistent legacy compounds alongside increasingly reported short-chain PFAS and precursors, suggesting ongoing indoor exposure despite regulation.

Fate, bioaccumulation, and toxic responses of PFOA, PFOS, and GenX in the paddy soil-rice system across the full growth cycle
Science
1 Jan 2026 | J Hazard Mater
Analysis of a full growth cycle study in paddy soil suggests that PFOA, PFOS, and the replacement PFAS GenX may disrupt rice growth and induce oxidative stress. GenX is showing greater upward movement into edible tissues, highlighting potential food-chain relevance and informing proposed soil safety thresholds for rice cultivation.
