• Levels, accumulation patterns and retrospective trends of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in terrestrial ecosystems over the last three decades

  Science

  3 Jan 2019 | Environ. Pollut.

  PFAAs are still detectable in the environment and concentrations of other PFAAs as perfluorobutanoic acid appear to be increasing over the past 30 years.

• New Hampshire proposed MCLs and AGQS for a number of PFAS

  Policy

  2 Jan 2019

  New Hampshire proposed Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) and Ambient Groundwater Quality Standards (AGQS): PFOA (38 ppt), PFOS (70 ppt), PFOA & PFOS (combined: 70 ppt), PFHxS (85 ppt), PFNA (23 ppt).

• DuPont has spread its pollution around the world. Now it wants to filter your contaminated drinking water

  News

  11 Dec 2018 | The Intercept

  DuPont opened a factory in Saudi Arabia that will produce reverse osmosis water filters. The filters use ultra-thin membranes to remove water impurities, including PFAS — chemicals made and used by DuPont that have caused widespread water contamination around the world... “DuPont has learned the art of making money coming and going,” said Telsey. “They profited off the environmental contamination and now can profit on cleaning it up. It’s quite a feat.”...

• Reconnaissance of Mixed Organic and Inorganic Chemicals in Private and Public Supply Tapwaters at Selected Residential and Workplace Sites in the United States

  Science

  21 Nov 2018 | Env. Sci. & Tech.

  USGS scientists tested 25 tap water sources from across the U.S. detecting PFAS in 84%, although some at low levels.

• Potential health effects of emerging environmental contaminants perfluoroalkyl compounds

  Science

  7 Nov 2018 | Yeungnam Univ J Med

  Researchers found links between PFAS levels to neurological disorders and hormone disruption in children and adults.

• Adverse Maternal, Fetal, and Postnatal Effects of Hexafluoropropylene Oxide Dimer Acid (GenX) from Oral Gestational Exposure in Sprague-Dawley Rats

  Science

  4 Nov 2018 | Environ. Health Perspect.

  GenX exposure produced multiple effects that were similar to prior toxicity evaluations on PFAS inSprague-Dawley Rats.

• [Recording] U.S. Senate Subcommittee Hearing: The Federal Role in the Toxic PFAS Chemical Crisis

  Events

  26 Sep 2018

  A recording and supporting information from a September 26, 2018 U.S. Senate Federal Spending Oversight Subcommittee Hearing on the Federal Role in the Toxic PFAS Chemical Crisis.

• [Recording] U.S. House Subcommittee Hearing: Perfluorinated Chemicals in the Environment

  Events

  6 Sep 2018

  U.S. House Subcommittee on Environment held a hearing on Thursday, September 6, 2018 entitled “Perfluorinated Chemicals in the Environment: An Update on the Response to Contamination and Challenges Presented.”

• Micropollutants in drinking water from source to tap - Method development and application of a multiresidue screening method

  Science

  20 Feb 2018 | Sci. Total Environ.

  A multi-compound screening method for the simultaneous measurement of a wide range of micropollutants, including PFAS, in drinking water resources was developed and applied to communities in Sweden.

  A presentation from Andy Eaton.

• Environmental Contaminants and Congenital Heart Defects: Focus on PFAS, PAHs, and Other Emerging Exposures

  Science

  30 Nov 1926 | Clin Chem

  PFAS, PAHs, and other pollutants may be associated with disrupted fetal heart development through mechanisms like endocrine interference and oxidative stress, highlighting mixed epidemiological findings and the need for improved exposure assessment to clarify these potential risks.

• A review of human exposure to PFAS: substantial contribution from seafood

  Science

  30 Nov 1925 | Environ Health Prev Med

  In Japan, rivers contaminated by industrial PFAS discharges have led to high levels of long-chain PFAS in seafood such as cod, clams, and shrimp, and because seafood is a dietary staple, this pathway now accounts for the majority of human PFAS intake and explains the higher blood concentrations observed in the Japanese population compared to other countries.

• Association of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Exposure With Cataract Prevalence Among U.S. Adults: A NHANES Analysis (2005-2008)

  Science

  30 Nov 1925 | Transl Vis Sci Technol

  Higher levels of PFAS—especially PFHS and PFNA—were significantly linked to increased cataract prevalence in U.S. adults, suggesting these pollutants may harm eye health through inflammation and oxidative stress.

  Science

  30 Nov 1924 | Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf

  Sustainable food packaging solutions are essential to replace harmful PFAS and plastics, with promising advancements in bio-based materials and active packaging systems, though challenges remain in scalability and comprehensive environmental assessments.
