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.

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.

Officials make disturbing discovery after drawing blood from residents near US military base: 'We've had it'
News
29 Nov 2025 | Yahoo!News
What was most staggering in the discovery, however, was that 26% of plume area participants had PFAS levels in the highest concentration tier, meaning they were exposed to nearly ten times the amount of the common group.

Non-destructive surface sampling of PFAS exposure on firefighter protective gears: Potential implications for occupational exposure
Science
27 Nov 2025 | J. Hazard. Mater.
Firefighter turnout gear and self-contained breathing apparatus surfaces may contain notable levels of PFAS, particularly 6:2 FTS, indicating potential occupational exposure through skin contact and inhalation underscoring a need for improved monitoring while noting that minor PFAS signals in blanks may introduce some uncertainty.

Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, and PFAS Exposure During Pregnancy or Lactation and Respective Concentrations in Human Milk: Systematic Review
Science
26 Nov 2025 | Environ Res
Evidence from 46 studies suggests that higher maternal exposure to lead, mercury, PFOA, and PFOS may be linked with higher concentrations of the same contaminants in human milk, potentially exposing infants during critical development windows.

Asymmetrical contamination of anionic PFAS across global freshwater reservoirs
Science
18 Nov 2025 | Water Research
Freshwater reservoirs across Asia, North America, Europe, Africa, and Oceania show three distinct PFAS contamination stages, including PFOA-dominated, PFOA plus PFOS co-dominated, and short-chain PFBA-dominated profiles, which together point to the need for more coordinated global multi-media PFAS monitoring and governance.

Nationwide estimate of volatile per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) emissions from US landfills via landfill gas
Science
17 Nov 2025 | Environ. Sci. Technol.
Landfill gas was found to contain notable levels of volatile PFAS, particularly 6:2 and 8:2 FTOH, suggesting that landfills may act as an underrecognized source of atmospheric PFAS emissions and raising policy concerns due to major uncertainties in how effectively these compounds are managed.
