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.
