Use of a capillary blood collection device to monitor exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Veterans living in proximity to potential sources of environmental contamination
Science
30 Apr 2026 | J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol
PFAS were widely detected and closely matched traditional blood tests, with higher levels linked to factors like age, sex, and especially drinking water source, indicating this method can effectively track real-world exposure patterns.

Phase out ‘forever chemicals’ in cookware and school uniforms, MPs urge in warning on PFAS pollution
Policy
27 Apr 2026
The Committee also calls for the Government to take a stronger approach to regulating PFAS, to ensure that those who pollute waterways and soil pay for it to be cleaned up, establish a national fund for remediation and invest in technologies to destroy these chemicals safely.

Microplastic-associated pollutants in prostate carcinogenesis and plant-based chemo-preventive strategies
Science
27 Apr 2026 | Drug Chem Toxicol
Microplastics can carry PFAS and other toxic chemicals into the body and build up in prostate tissue, potentially increasing localized exposure and contributing to processes linked to cancer.

Serum PFAS in aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) firefighters from six US airport fire departments
Science
25 Apr 2026 | Am. J. Ind. Med.
Workplace changes, such as improved handling of PFAS-containing foams, greater use of personal protective equipment like gloves, safer foam -use practices, and increased training and awareness, were associated with lower levels of PFHxS, PFNA, PFDA, and overall PFAS in the blood.

PFAS co-positivities identified in more than 10,000 serum/plasma samples.
Science
24 Apr 2026 | J. Occup. Environ. Hyg.
Analysis of over 10,000 blood samples contained combinations of PFHxS, PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, and PFHpS, highlighting that real-world exposure typically involves complex mixtures rather than single substances.

[Public Comment] Interim Guidance on the Destruction and Disposal of PFAS and Materials Containing PFAS
Policy
23 Apr 2026
This update provides information on the current state of science and associated uncertainties for three large-scale capacity technologies that can destroy PFAS or control PFAS release into the environment: thermal destruction, landfills, and underground injection.

Report to the legislature: Assessments of feasibility of regulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water as the entire class or as certain subclasses or mixtures and treatment technologies for removal of PFAS from drinking water or wastewater
Policy
21 Apr 2026
The report concludes that it currently is infeasible to develop a class-wide PFAS drinking water standard, but it leaves the door open for that circumstance changing. It also mentions California’s efforts to develop a broad spectrum analytical approach for PFAS and a treatment-based regulation for the entire class of PFAS.

Co-occurrence, bioaccumulation, and dietary risk assessment of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances and heavy metals in rice
Science
14 Apr 2026 | J Agric Food Chem
Rice grown near a Chinese industrial area was found to accumulate multiple PFAS, including emerging compounds such as HFPO-DA, alongside heavy metals through both soil and irrigation water pathways, with evidence of transfer into edible grains and dietary exposures that may exceed U.S. health-based thresholds.

Per rebuke to their submitted plan, local governments must deliver bottled water to PFAS-impacted West Plains residents
News
13 Apr 2026 | The Spokesman-Review
Bottled water would need to be delivered within seven days of a request and would be sanitized and refilled by the water delivery services. Ecology also encouraged the governments to provide for maintenance of existing filters as part of the plan.

PFAS released from the metals recovery process of the lithium-ion battery black mass
Science
13 Apr 2026 | J. Hazard. Mater.
PFAS used in lithium-ion batteries, such as bis-FMeSI and LiPF₆, may be mobilized during hydrometallurgical recycling and lithium recovery, with unidentified organofluorine suggests PFAS burdens may be underestimated.

Volatile per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other semi-volatile organic chemicals in indoor air of fire stations: The influence of gear storage conditions
Science
13 Apr 2026 | Environ Sci Process Impacts
Sampling across 11 fire stations identified 14 PFAS and ~120 co-occurring SVOCs in indoor air, with volatile species such as 8:2 FTOH detected at high levels in enclosed gear storage areas, suggesting turnout gear may act as a source of airborne PFAS that could potentially contribute to inhalation exposure and PFOA formation.
