French Food Safety Agency Proposes PFAS Monitoring Scheme
News
27 Oct 2025 | Food Safety Magazine
The French National Agency for Food, Environmental, and Occupational Health and Safety has proposed an expanded monitoring scheme for PFAS based on a first-of-its-kind inventory of PFAS contamination and toxicity, comprising more than 247 “forever chemicals.”

Bioaccumulation, bioamplification, and elimination behavior of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances during insect metamorphosis: Different strategies for silkworms and locusts
Science
22 Oct 2025 | J Hazard Mater
Silkworms and locusts respond to PFAS exposure in very different ways during metamorphosis: silkworms absorb more PFAS but eliminate up to 39% through molting and metamorphic changes, while locusts absorb less and mainly excrete PFAS through feces, revealing species-specific strategies for coping with environmental pollution and its effects on development.

Profiles of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in firefighter turnout gear and their impact on exposure assessment
Science
20 Oct 2025 | Environ Sci Process Impacts
Firefighter turnout gear contains varying levels of PFAS chemicals that accumulate more in older gear and the inner moisture barrier, increasing with wear, heat, and abrasion, which raises firefighters’ potential exposure risks.

PFAS in stormwater control measures: Removal, distribution, and long-term fate
Science
18 Oct 2025 | Water Research
Stormwater systems such as ponds and filters are not designed to remove PFAS, so most PFAS pass through the system, build up in water and sediment over time, and can transform from precursors into more toxic terminal PFAS, making stormwater a growing and often hidden source of PFAS pollution in the environment.

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.

Birds Near US Military Bases Have Higher Levels of PFAS, Study Finds
News
16 Oct 2025 | Newsweek
While the findings are "not surprising," as many PFAS chemicals can "move from the environment into the bodies of living organisms," a process called bioaccumulation, the way in which these chemicals are affecting environmental health is "concerning," Jamie DeWitt, director of the Environmental Health Sciences Center at Oregon State University, who was not involved in the study, told Newsweek.

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.

A review of the key impacts of deforestation and wildfires on water resources with regard to the production of drinking water.
Science
12 Oct 2025 | Hydrology
Deforestation and especially wildfires can release pollutants into water, but wildfires pose an added threat because firefighting foams and burn residues introduce PFAS that contaminate both surface water and groundwater, making drinking water treatment far more difficult and costly.

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.

[Factsheet] PFAS sampling activities in the US Geological Survey national networks
Science
19 Sep 2025 | USGS
The U.S. Geological Survey is monitoring PFAS nationwide by sampling 23 rivers up to 22 times a year, collecting over 1,200 groundwater samples from wells since 2019, and measuring PFAS in rainfall at atmospheric deposition sites to track how these long-lasting chemicals move through water, air, and soil.
