Residential proximity to transport facilities as urban determinants of individual-level per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposures: Analysis of two longitudinal cohorts in Singapore
Science
9 Jan 2026 | Environ Health
A longitudinal study of pregnant women in Singapore reports that residential proximity to large transport facilities, especially bus depots, is associated with higher blood levels of specific PFAS, notably PFBS, PFBA, and PFNA, highlighting a potentially important but largely unregulated urban exposure source linked to the widespread use of PFAS in automotive lubricants, hydraulic fluids, coatings, and other vehicle components.

Fate, bioaccumulation, and toxic responses of PFOA, PFOS, and GenX in the paddy soil-rice system across the full growth cycle
Science
1 Jan 2026 | J Hazard Mater
Analysis of a full growth cycle study in paddy soil suggests that PFOA, PFOS, and the replacement PFAS GenX may disrupt rice growth and induce oxidative stress. GenX is showing greater upward movement into edible tissues, highlighting potential food-chain relevance and informing proposed soil safety thresholds for rice cultivation.
