Legacy and emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in Australian biosolids
Science
22 Dec 2020 | Chemosphere
Using the population data supplied by the participating WWTPs, the mean annual estimated biosolids-associated PFAS contribution is 6 mg per person per year and ranged between 0.6 mg and 15 mg.

Suggestions for Improving the Characterisation of Risk from Exposures to Per and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS)
Science
22 Nov 2020 | Environ Toxicol Chem
Here we propose methods that consider maximizing the use of disparate data streams, seeking patterns, and proposing biological-based approaches to evidence integration towards informed criteria development.

Faster, on-site way to detect PFAS
News
15 Sep 2020 | Science Daily
The only way to prevent PFAS entering the food chain, is to minimise or remove the chemicals from the environment -- making early detection a highly desirable part of this removal process.
