European apples contaminated with cocktails of pesticides (PFAS, neurotoxins and other highly toxic substances)
News
29 Jan 2026 | Pesticide Action Network Europe
Two-thirds (64%) of apples contained at least one PFAS pesticide, while one-third (36%) contained neurotoxic pesticides.

Model-based assessment of adsorption and diffusion of PFASs through concrete as continuous Source of PFASs to the environment
Science
28 Jan 2026 | ACS EST Engg.
Modeling of long-term laboratory data suggests PFAS may slowly diffuse into and back out of concrete, making paved surfaces a potentially persistent secondary source to surface runoff even after active releases stop.

High-resolution mass spectrometry analysis of legacy and emerging PFAS in oilfield environments: Occurrence, source, and toxicity assessment
Science
26 Jan 2026 | Toxics
Oilfield sites showed elevated and diverse PFAS contamination associated with displacement agents, and the PFOS substitute p-perfluorous nonenoxybenzenesulfonate appears similarly persistent and bioaccumulative while potentially linked to greater developmental cardiac toxicity than PFOS.

Longitudinal PFAS exposure and thyroid function trajectories in Taiwanese youth: a 10-year prospective cohort study
Science
26 Jan 2026 | Environ Int
Long-term PFAS exposure in adolescents and young adults was associated with persistently lower thyroid-stimulating hormone and modestly higher free thyroxine over a decade, suggesting PFAS may disrupt hormonal regulation during a sensitive developmental window, with potential implications for long-term health.

Evaluating Legacy and Emerging PFAS in Human Blood Collected from 2003 to 2021
Science
21 Jan 2026 | Environ Sci Technol
Analysis of U.S. blood samples suggests that although phased-out PFAS such as PFOS and PFOA have declined, replacement PFAS including 9Cl-PF3ONS, 6:2 DiPAP, and related phosphonate and phosphate compounds are increasingly detected, raising concerns since their sources, toxicity, and long-term health relevance remain poorly understood.

The occurrence, sources, and health risks of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in pm 2. 5 in Shihezi, a typical inland arid industrial city
Science
19 Jan 2026 | Atmos. Pollut. Res.
PFAS were widely detected in fine particulate air pollution in an arid industrial city, dominated by short chain compounds linked to industrial emissions and atmospheric transformation, suggesting that airborne PFAS exposure may be underestimated when total human exposure, particularly for children.

Surface energy and pinning forces of fluorine-free, water-friendly coatings for medical devices
Science
19 Jan 2026 | Langmuir
PFAS-free plasma and acid surface treatments may provide medical device coatings with wettability and friction performance similar to fluorinated coatings, indicating a potential pathway to reduce reliance on persistent PFAS while meeting functional requirements.

Assessment of human exposure to particle-associated organic pollutants in home environments of Lisbon, Portugal
Science
19 Jan 2026 | Environ Res
Particle-bound PFAS including PFBS, PFHxA, PFOA, and PFNA were detected at higher concentrations indoors than outdoors in Lisbon homes, suggesting indoor materials and consumer products may be associated with ongoing PFAS inhalation exposure.

As EPA tries to loosen PFAS rules, NC regulators inch toward statewide protections
Policy
9 Jan 2026
Members of the Environmental Management Commission expressed the need for some urgency in moving forward with the development of statewide rules on Thursday. The group took up two sets of “monitoring and minimization rules”: one for three types of PFAS – PFOS, PFOA and GenX – and another for 1,4-Dioxane.
