Multi-media occurrence, bioaccumulation, and exposure assessment of PFAS across a Midwestern US State
Science
27 Apr 2026 | Environ. Res.
A statewide study suggests PFAS, including PFOS and other legacy and newer compounds, are found across air, drinking water, fish, and people in Indiana, where they may build up in food webs and show patterns linked to water system size and community demographics, highlighting multiple exposure pathways and potential environmental justice concerns.

Microplastic-associated pollutants in prostate carcinogenesis and plant-based chemo-preventive strategies
Science
27 Apr 2026 | Drug Chem Toxicol
Microplastics can carry PFAS and other toxic chemicals into the body and build up in prostate tissue, potentially increasing localized exposure and contributing to processes linked to cancer.

Extractable organofluorine (EOF) and target PFAS, including trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), in human serum from a Norwegian cohort, with a case study on the impact of fluorinated pharmaceuticals
Science
26 Apr 2026 | Environ. Int.
Current PFAS measurements may miss a substantial share of human exposure, as up to about half or more of fluorinated compounds in blood remain unidentified, with TFA often the most abundant detected PFAS and additional contributions from sources like fluorinated pharmaceuticals increasing overall body burden.

Spatial-temporal patterns of perfluoroalkyl substances in the biota of the Laurentian Great Lakes: A meta-analysis
Science
26 Apr 2026 | J. Environ. Qual.
PFAS in Great Lakes biota show a clear west-to-east increase, with PFOS dominating, declining after phase-out mainly in eastern lakes, biomagnifying through food webs, and accumulating most in eggs, blood, and liver, though the authors note major data gaps in taxa, locations, and reporting methods.

Serum PFAS in aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) firefighters from six US airport fire departments
Science
25 Apr 2026 | Am. J. Ind. Med.
Workplace changes, such as improved handling of PFAS-containing foams, greater use of personal protective equipment like gloves, safer foam -use practices, and increased training and awareness, were associated with lower levels of PFHxS, PFNA, PFDA, and overall PFAS in the blood.

PFAS co-positivities identified in more than 10,000 serum/plasma samples.
Science
24 Apr 2026 | J. Occup. Environ. Hyg.
Analysis of over 10,000 blood samples contained combinations of PFHxS, PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, and PFHpS, highlighting that real-world exposure typically involves complex mixtures rather than single substances.

[Viewpoint] Allowing unlimited PFAS manufacturing contradicts the core intention of the European Union’s PFAS restriction proposal
Science
23 Apr 2026 | Environ. Sci. Technol.
The European Union’s proposed PFAS restriction may still allow continued production that leads to ongoing, unbounded emissions over time, ultimately undermining its goal of protecting human health and the environment.

[Public Comment] Interim Guidance on the Destruction and Disposal of PFAS and Materials Containing PFAS
Policy
23 Apr 2026
This update provides information on the current state of science and associated uncertainties for three large-scale capacity technologies that can destroy PFAS or control PFAS release into the environment: thermal destruction, landfills, and underground injection.

Wastewater treatment facilities as underappreciated point sources for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances and microplastics: A critical perspective
Science
22 Apr 2026 | Chem. Mater.
Treatment processes may redistribute PFAS rather than fully remove them, with shorter-chain compounds remaining in the aqueous phase while longer-chain forms partition to solids or foams, and microplastics potentially acting as transport vehicles.
