Seamounts create local hotspots of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the oligotrophic open ocean
Science
4 Aug 2025 | Progress in Oceanography
Scientists discovered that waters above Pacific seamounts hold per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances at concentrations about 40 % higher than nearby open ocean, with the mid-depth mesopelagic layer especially rich in newer short-chain PFAS, showing these undersea mountains act as unexpected hotspots.

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances in reusable feminine hygiene products
Science
22 Jul 2025 | Environ. Sci. Technol. Lett.
59 reusable menstrual products from North America, South America, and Europe were found to contain PFAS in all items, with period underwear and reusable pads most often intentionally treated. Availability of PFAS-free options suggests thatPFAS aren’t necessary. More research is needed on dermal exposure.

Assessment of sealants for the mitigation of PFAS leaching from contaminated concrete
Science
21 Jul 2025 | J. Hazard. Mater.
Laboratory tests on six readily available concrete sealants showed that an epoxy coating is the most effective barrier to PFAS leaching from contaminated runways and pads; researchers recommend using a combination of surface and penetrating sealants for rapid, on-site pollution control.
