A Dominating Role of Functional Groups in Short-Chain Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance (PFAS) Accumulation by Fruiting Plants
Science
11 Dec 2025 | Environ Sci Technol
Tomato plants were found to preferentially move short-chain PFAS with carboxylic acid groups into fruits while sulfonic acid PFAS are largely retained in roots and leaves, which could influence potential dietary exposure and guide crop choices in contaminated areas.

Co-exposure to PFAS and hydroxylated PCBs is associated with increased odds of multiple sclerosis
Science
11 Dec 2025 | Environ Int
Swedish adults with background exposure who had higher serum levels of PFOS and PCB breakdown products may face increased odds of developing multiple sclerosis, with the strongest associations observed at higher exposure ranges after accounting for lifestyle and genetic differences.

Unravelling the chemistry of PFAS transfer from packaging to food
Science
8 Dec 2025 | TIFS
PFAS used in paper, paperboard, compostable, and plastic food-contact materials may migrate into food through diffusion, partitioning, and degradation of polymer-bound PFAS, suggesting that these packaging materials may act as overlooked sources of dietary PFAS exposure and warrant closer regulatory attention.

Investigating anaerobic digestion microbiome resilience to high PFOA and PFOS mixtures during cometabolism
Science
8 Dec 2025 | Bioresour. Technol.
High levels of PFOA and PFOS may interfere with how microbes create biogas during anaerobic digestion, which is important for waste-treatment policy because it suggests these chemicals can disrupt sludge processing while showing no clear signs of degradation.
