Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in urban stormwater runoff: Insights from a roadside rain garden
Science
16 Oct 2025 | Water
A New Jersey roadside rain garden removed less than 1% of the 1,400–1,600 ng/L of PFAS (mainly PFBS and PFHxA) found in stormwater, showing that current stormwater systems are ineffective in removing PFAS and need advanced treatment and stronger policies.

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food and its contribution to human exposure.
Science
15 Oct 2025 | Curr. Opin. Food Sci.
PFAS in common foods like seafood, eggs, meat and contaminated local produce can raise blood levels above health-based guidance values, with 14% of European teenagers already exceeding these limits, showing that food is a major exposure source and that better monitoring, regulation and dietary strategies are needed.

Assessment of trifluoroacetic acid in tap water from Besançon (France) and bottled water from France, Italy, and Romania
Science
14 Oct 2025 | Discover Water
TFA, an ultra-short chain PFAS, was found in 100% of tap water samples from Besançon (540–3,800 ng/L, average 1,164 ng/L) and in most bottled waters at lower levels, showing that tap water is a major source of exposure and that this persistent, unregulated chemical needs monitoring and inclusion in drinking water policies.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances exposure in hexavalent chromium exposed workers and the effects of exposure mixtures on oxidative stress and genomic instability
Science
12 Oct 2025 | Environ Pollut
Workers in chrome-plating and similar industries are exposed to toxic hexavalent chromium alongside very high levels of PFAS such as PFOS and PFDA, and this combined exposure is linked to early signs of oxidative stress and DNA changes that may increase the risk of cancer, mitochondrial damage, and impaired DNA repair over time.

An unwanted hitchhiker: Assessment of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in vehicle cabin air conditioner and engine filters
Science
10 Oct 2025 | Analytical Methods
Car cabin air filters were dominated by diPAPs and long-chain PFCAs (like PFOA, PFNA, and PFDA), showing far higher PFAS levels than engine filters, which mainly contained fluorotelomer sulfonic acids and some PFCAs, indicating that vehicle interiors are a significant source of PFAS exposure.

Advancing the understanding of PFAS-induced reproductive toxicity in key model species
Science
29 Sep 2025 | Environ Sci Process Impacts
Across model species, PFAS commonly impair reproduction, in rodents they damage ovaries and testes, disrupt sex hormones, and weaken the blood-testis barrier, in fish they reveal reduced fecundity and abnormal development under chronic, environmentally relevant, transgenerational tests, and in C. elegans they cause heritable declines in fertility and locomotion.

Short-chain PFAS predominate in large-scale lithium battery industrial parks, Eastern China: Source apportionment and downstream impact implications
Science
25 Sep 2025 | J. Hazard. Mater.
Lithium battery industrial parks in eastern China release significant amounts of short-chain PFAS into rivers, with urban wastewater, traditional industries, and the battery industry each contributing about one-third of the pollution, leading to ecological risks, in downstream ecosystems.

Field measurement and modelling of PFAS leachability from a contaminated fire training area–whole of pad response to rainfall
Science
24 Sep 2025 | Water Research
Concrete and asphalt at old fire training sites where firefighting foams were used continue to release PFAS into rainwater runoff at levels around 1–4 micrograms per liter, and modeling indicates this contamination could persist for centuries without active cleanup or management.
