• Perfluoroalkyl substances in drinking water sources along the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, China: Human health and ecological risk assessment

  Science

  11 May 2021 | Ecotoxicol Environ Saf

  PFOS, PFOA, and PFBS induced considerable risk on human health and aquatic species.

• Associations of perfluorooctane sulfonate alternatives and serum lipids in Chinese adults

  Science

  11 May 2021 | Environ Int

  Cl-PFESAs are adversely associated with serum lipid levels, and that such associations are also observed in legacy PFAS.

• Biomonitoring: A tool to assess PFNA body burdens and evaluate the effectiveness of drinking water intervention for communities in New Jersey

  Science

  10 May 2021 | Int. J. Hyg. Environ. Health

  PFNA half-life was estimated ~3.5 years from this unique biomonitoring study.

• Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at high concentrations in neonatal Australian pinnipeds

  Science

  5 May 2021 | Sci. Tot. Env.

  The geographical foraging range is the suspected factor for interspecies differences in marine mammals.

• Prevalence and Predictors of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Serum Levels among Members of a Suburban US Volunteer Fire Department

  Science

  5 May 2021 | Int J Environ Res Public Health

  Serum levels of both PFDA and PFDoA were positively associated with years of firefighting.

• Diffusion of perfluoroalkyl acids through clay-rich soil

  Science

  4 May 2021 | J Contam Hydrol

  Surface diffusion serves a potentially important role for strongly sorbing PFAAs in clay-rich soils.

• The Case for Direct Measures of Soil-to-Groundwater Contaminant Mass Discharge at AFFF-Impacted Sites

  Science

  4 May 2021 | Environ Sci Technol

  This perspective provides a rationale for why alternative approaches are critically necessary and proposes a practical solution to accurately assess PFAS transport within unsaturated vadose zone soils.

• Microwave regeneration of granular activated carbon saturated with PFAS

  Science

  4 May 2021 | Water Res

  Multiple cycles of microwave treatments were found to successfully regenerate activated carbon saturated with PFOA and PFOS.

• Immunotoxicity of Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: Insights into Short-Chain PFAS Exposure

  Science

  3 May 2021 | Toxics

  Understudied PFAS have toxicological potential but require additional investigation across endpoints and species, including humans, to understand health effects via drinking water exposure.

• PFAS paper mill settlement reflects growing trend

  News

  28 Apr 2021 | National Law Review

  Just a few days ago, an $11.9 million settlement was announced in a Michigan lawsuit in which a class of approximately 3,000 plaintiffs alleged that a PFAS manufacturer and a PFAS-using paper mill contaminated drinking water supplies, thereby polluting the environment and placing nearby citizens at increased risk of adverse health effects.

• EPA Administrator Regan Establishes New Council on PFAS

  Policy

  27 Apr 2021

  Administrator Michael S. Regan issued a memorandum to EPA’s senior leadership calling for the creation of a new “EPA Council on PFAS” that is charged with building on the agency’s ongoing work to better understand and ultimately reduce the potential risks caused by these chemicals. 

• Systemic PFOS and PFOA exposure and disturbed lipid homeostasis in humans: what do we know and what not?

  Science

  27 Apr 2021 | Crt. Rev. Tox.

  This paper aims to present the main issues regarding the modulation of lipid homeostasis by the two most common PFASs, PFOS and PFOA, with emphasis on the underlying mechanisms relevant for humans.
