Serum levels of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and body composition - A cross-sectional study in a middle-aged population
Science
1 Feb 2022 | Environ Res
PFOA, PFNA, and PFDA were inversely related to fat mass measurements in women but not men, while PFOS and PFHxS had no consistent associations with body composition.

A review of PFAS fingerprints in fish from Norwegian freshwater bodies subject to different source inputs
Science
1 Feb 2022 | Environ Sci Process Impacts
Source tracking of PFAS exposure was most successful using fish livers, with fingerprints from AFFF dominated by PFOS and PFSA and fingerprints from paper production dominated by PFCAs and high ∑PFAS and PFOS.

Background release and potential point sources of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances to municipal wastewater treatment plants across Australia
Science
24 Jan 2022 | Chemosphere
About 60% of PFAS in Australian wastewater treatment plant influent was due to background release (at a rate of 8.1-24 μg/day/person) with the remaining ~40% due to point sources including industrial activities.

Quantitation of linear and branched perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids (PFSAs) in women and infants during pregnancy and lactation
Science
10 Jan 2022 | Environ Int
A linear relation between PFSA concentrations in mothers at pregnancy week 18 and infants at six months was observed, suggesting that pregnancy and lactation are major excretion routes for PFSA, but accumulate in the infant.

Per-and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) Cycling within Michigan: Contaminated Sites, Landfills and Wastewater Treatment Plants
Science
4 Jan 2022 | Water Research
Analysis of PFAS in Michigan waste found that landfill leachate is a primary source of PFAS to WWTPs, and treatment can increase PFAS concentrations up to 19x, yet long-chain PFAS like PFOA concentrate in biosolids.
