PFAS-induced immunotoxicity in freshwater fish of inland China: mechanisms and ecological risks
Science
10 Nov 2025 | Comp. Biochem. Physiol. C
PFAS are widespread in China’s freshwater systems, where long-chain and sulfonic types result in suppressed immune responses and higher infection risk. These effects worsen with co-exposure to heavy metals and microplastics.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in municipal solid waste incineration ash: occurrence and management implications
Science
9 Nov 2025 | Waste Manag
Municipal solid waste incineration ash from four Florida facilities contained measurable PFAS, with bottom ash showing higher levels dominated by diPAP precursors while fly ash held mostly short-chain PFAAs. These results highlight the need for stack and leaching tests as well as establishment of thresholds for some relevant PFAS to properly assess the risks of municipal solid waste incineration and ash reuse.
