Bone marrow accumulation of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) predicts post-transplant relapse in acute myeloid leukemia patients and associated with T-cell dysregulation
Science
25 Nov 2025 | Ecotoxicol Environ Saf
Higher early post-transplant levels of PFOA, PFOS, 9Cl-PF3ONS, and PFUnDA in the bone marrow of leukemia patients were linked to patterns of T-cell disruption associated with relapse, pointing to a potential environmental influence on immune recovery after a transplant.

The unintentional role of chemical regulation in regrettable substitution: The case of PFAS
Science
25 Nov 2025 | ES&P
The authors argue that regulatory systems like TSCA and REACH may unintentionally drive regrettable PFAS substitutions by allowing insufficiently assessed alternatives onto the market, highlighting the policy significance of shifting toward earlier hazard evaluation, coordinated global oversight, and mechanisms to prevent substitution with equally persistent or hazardous chemicals.

Regrettable for whom? GenX chemicals as a case study in detrimental chemical substitution
Science
18 Nov 2025 | Environ. Sci. Policy
The example of GenX’s substitution for PFOA shows how structural factors in the US chemical regulatory system, including data gaps, permissive loopholes, and limited oversight, can enable detrimental chemical replacement. These findings underscore the need for stronger policies that prioritize public health.

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.
