  9 Feb 2021 | Environ Res

  The participants in the EuroMix study were exposed to PFASs through their diet and personal care product use.

• Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and total fluorine in fire station dust

  Science

  8 Feb 2021 | J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol

  Turnout gear may be an important PFAS source in stations due to intentional additives and/or contamination from firefighting activities.

• Response to “Comment on Scientific Basis for Managing PFAS as a Chemical Class

  Science

  1 Feb 2021 | Environ. Sci. Technol

  Here we are responding to the comment by Singh and Papanastasiou who disagree with a class-based approach to PFAS and build their argument around hydrochlorofluorocarbons.

• Comparison of currently available PFAS remediation technologies in water: A review

  Science

  28 Jan 2021 | J Environ Manage

  In this review, extra consideration is given to novel advanced techniques for PFAS including short chain PFAS removal, and compare their efficiencies, effectiveness, energy use, sustainability, cost, and simplicity in laboratory scale to field applications.

• EPA Delivers Results on PFAS Action Plan

  Policy

  26 Jan 2021

  The U.S. EPA announced a suite of actions from across the agency that will continue the significant progress the agency has made to implement the PFAS Action Plan—the most comprehensive cross-agency plan ever to address an emerging chemical of concern.

• Atmospheric particulate represents a source of C8–C12 perfluoroalkyl carboxylates and 10:2 fluorotelomer alcohol in tree bark

  Science

  18 Jan 2021 | Environ. Poll.

  Overall, this study provides the first evidence that atmospheric particulate is an obvious source of C8–C12 PFCAs and 10:2 FTOH in tree bark.

• Current Contributions of Organofluorine Compounds to the Agrochemical Industry

  Science

  6 Jan 2021 | iScience

  A database of 424 fluoro-agrochemicals was developed to better understand the role of PFAS in agriculture.

• The high persistence of PFAS is sufficient for their management as a chemical class

  Science

  1 Dec 2020 | Environ Sci Process Impacts

  We argue that this high persistence is sufficient concern for their management as a chemical class, and for all "non-essential" uses of PFAS to be phased out.
