• EPA-Linked Consultant Undercuts Agency’s PFAS Concerns

  News

  8 Dec 2021 | E&E News and Greenwire

  An industry toxicologist promoting artificial turf fields has repeatedly cited her work for EPA while downplaying the risks of PFAS used to produce plastic grass blades, making contentious claims often at odds with the agency’s own findings.

• PFAS Standards In Pennsylvania Now Set

  Policy

  6 Dec 2021

  The standards aim to be guidelines by which site remediators can gauge PFAS removal steps in instances of soil pollution.

• PFAS Ban For Food Packaging Proposed

  Policy

  6 Dec 2021

  The bill, while incredibly brief, would accelerate efforts already underway by the food packaging industry to develop feasible substitutes for PFAS in its products.

• Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) exposure of bovine oocytes affects early embryonic development at human-relevant levels in an in vitro model

  Science

  6 Dec 2021 | Toxicology

  Human-relevant levels of PFOS alter early bovine embryo development in vitro.

• Tumorigenic activity of alternative per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): Mechanistic in vitro studies

  Science

  6 Dec 2021 | Sci Total Environ

  PFHxS has been associated with breast cancer in epidemiological studies, and this study demonstrated how this shorter-chain PFAS can affect cell proteins and cell proliferation.

• Perfluorooctane sulfonate induces heart toxicity involving cardiac apoptosis and inflammation in rats

  Science

  6 Dec 2021 | Exp Ther Med

  Exposure to PFOS left rats with heart inflammation and other markers of cardiac toxicity.

• In Vivo Transformation of a Novel Polyfluoroether Surfactant

  Science

  6 Dec 2021 | Environ Toxicol Chem

  Rats that received a novel PFAS surfactant orally rather than intravenously had higher breakdown products in their blood suggesting the importance of metabolism in the gut and liver.

• Exposure of male mice to perfluorooctanoic acid induces anxiety-like behaviors by increasing corticotropin-releasing factor in the basolateral amygdala complex

  Science

  6 Dec 2021 | Chemosphere

  PFOA exposure in mice led to a metabolic cascade of effects resulting in anxiety-like behaviors.

• The EPA Finally Plans to Regulate Toxic, Widespread 'Forever Chemicals'

  News

  1 Dec 2021 | Very Well Health

  Among the most sinister and widespread threats to public health in the United States is a class of toxic chemicals called polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.

• Deer Consumption Advisory

  Policy

  1 Dec 2021

  The State of Maine has detected high levels of PFAS in some deer harvested in the greater Fairfield area and is issuing a do not eat advisory for deer harvested in the area.

• Poly- and Perfluorinated Alkyl Substances in Air and Water from Dhaka, Bangladesh.

  Science

  30 Nov 2021 | Environ Toxicol Chem

  The prevalence of 6:2 FTOH and PFBA across sites likely reflects their usage in textile manufacturing and could indicate the industry's switch to shorter chain PFAS.

• Tumor and serum levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) in hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal malignancy

  Science

  30 Nov 2021 | Am J Surg

  Cancer patients had higher levels of PFOS than the national average and those with higher blood serum levels of PFOS were more likely to have higher levels of PFOS in tumors.

• Prenatal exposure to poly-/per-fluoroalkyl substances is associated with alteration of lipid profiles in cord-blood

  Science

  30 Nov 2021 | Metabolomics

  Prenatal PFAS exposure may explain associations between PFAS exposure and adverse health conditions later in life, such as type 2 diabetes.

• Impaired gross motor development in infants with higher PFAS concentrations

  Science

  30 Nov 2021 | Environ Res

  Maternal fish intake determined infant PFAS levels and was associated with poorer infant gross motor development.

• PFASs pollution in Galveston Bay surface waters and biota (shellfish and fish) following AFFFs use during the ITC fire at Deer Park (March 17th-20th 2019), Houston, TX

  Science

  30 Nov 2021 | Sci Total Environ

  High PFAS levels were measured in water following AFFF usage on a nearby petrochemical fire and a risk assessment suggested a fish consumption advisory to protect against human exposure.
