A rank order of 26 North American fish species by propensity for PFAS bioaccumulation
Science
30 Apr 2026 | IEAM
PFAS bioaccumulation in fish was found to be species specific, with fish like Brown Trout and Smallmouth Bass consistently showing the highest contamination levels and serving as key indicators of elevated exposure risk.

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.

Shopping for just about anything while trying to avoid PFAS can make consumers “feel a little bit helpless,” DeWitt acknowledged. While the risk from PFAS in apparel “may be a very small part of our overall exposures,” she said, educating yourself about these chemicals and taking reasonable steps to avoid products that contain them can reduce your risk.

Remediating and reducing the environmental impact of fire suppression systems contaminated with per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances: Perspectives on current guidelines.
Science
27 Apr 2026 | Fire Safety Journal
A technical review proposes practical guidance for cleaning PFAS-contaminated fire suppression systems, showing that PFAS from AFFF can persist and rebound from pipes and components due to sorption and slow desorption processes, which may limit the effectiveness of simple rinsing and highlight the need for system-specific remediation strategies and evolving policy guidance.

Multi-media occurrence, bioaccumulation, and exposure assessment of PFAS across a Midwestern US State
Science
27 Apr 2026 | Environ. Res.
A statewide study suggests PFAS, including PFOS and other legacy and newer compounds, are found across air, drinking water, fish, and people in Indiana, where they may build up in food webs and show patterns linked to water system size and community demographics, highlighting multiple exposure pathways and potential environmental justice concerns.

Extractable organofluorine (EOF) and target PFAS, including trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), in human serum from a Norwegian cohort, with a case study on the impact of fluorinated pharmaceuticals
Science
26 Apr 2026 | Environ. Int.
Current PFAS measurements may miss a substantial share of human exposure, as up to about half or more of fluorinated compounds in blood remain unidentified, with TFA often the most abundant detected PFAS and additional contributions from sources like fluorinated pharmaceuticals increasing overall body burden.

[Viewpoint] Allowing unlimited PFAS manufacturing contradicts the core intention of the European Union’s PFAS restriction proposal
Science
23 Apr 2026 | Environ. Sci. Technol.
The European Union’s proposed PFAS restriction may still allow continued production that leads to ongoing, unbounded emissions over time, ultimately undermining its goal of protecting human health and the environment.
