Traditional fermentation amplifies PFAS bioaccessibility: Defining fermented fish products as an unrecognized source of dietary exposure
Science
8 Apr 2026 | Environ Sci Technol
Traditional fermentation of fish products may substantially increase the bioaccessibility, and thus potential dietary exposure, of PFAS such as PFOS and PFOA by breaking down proteins and fats during fermentation, which frees PFAS that were previously trapped in the food structure.

From environment to organs: Individual and combined effects of MPs and PFAS on urinary system health
Science
7 Apr 2026 | Front Physiol.
A review suggests PFAS may accumulate in the kidneys and disrupt metabolism and hormone balance, potentially contributing to kidney damage, cancer risk, and changes in gene regulation, while co-exposure with microplastics may influence PFAS toxicity by acting as carriers that alter their bioavailability and uptake.

PFAS cleanup at Joint Base Cape Cod hindered by lack of funding
News
6 Apr 2026 | Cape Code Times
Contractors are still cleaning up and monitoring environmental contamination from PFAS and military munitions at Joint Base Cape Cod, but expanding the scope of work is unlikely due to a lack of money, a consultant says.

Characterization of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances in crushed concrete from a source with known AFFF exposure: Outlooks for recycling
Science
6 Apr 2026 | JHM: Organics.
Crushed concrete from sites exposed to aqueous film-forming foams were found to contain elevated levels of PFAS, particularly PFOS and PFHxS, that persist below the surface and can make recycled material unsuitable for reuse, limiting the potential regulatory and management challenges.

Michigan study links PFAS to weaker COVID vaccine response
News
5 Apr 2026 | Mlive.com
In the study’s main analysis, participants with higher PFHxS exposure had about 40 percent lower levels of a key COVID-fighting antibody after vaccination than those in the lower exposure group.

Migration of per‐and polyfluoroalkyl substances in soil under rainfall simulation
Science
3 Apr 2026 | PLoS Med
Rainfall simulation experiments suggest that PFAS such as PFOS, PFOA, and PFHxS, may migrate primarily through leaching with additional transport via runoff, with wetting-dry cycles potentially redistributing PFAS to surface soils and enhancing mobilization.

Chemical exposome patterns in mothers and children across urbanisation levels in five European birth cohorts
Science
2 Apr 2026 | J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol
Urban versus non-urban living may shape exposure to multiple chemicals during pregnancy and childhood, with some substances like phenols and phthalates higher in urban areas while PFAS associated with agricultural practices such as PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFHxS, and PFUnDA may be higher in non-urban children.

Erin Brockovich warns PFAS problem spreading beyond Georgia town at meeting
News
1 Apr 2026 | The National News Des
“It’s going to be the entire state of Georgia,” Brockovich said. “It’s in the landfills, it’s in the rivers, it’s in the creeks, it’s in the tributaries, it’s in the soil, it’s in the farmland. It’s in the food chain.”

Per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances in lung tissues and their association with lung cancer.
Science
1 Apr 2026 | J. Hazard. Mater.
PFOS, PFOA, PFCAs, and PFSAs, were detected in lung tumor tissues from cancer patients and were associated with cancer biomarkers, suggesting that these chemicals may accumulate in lungs and could be linked to disease processes.

Distribution and concentration of airborne per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in indoor and outdoor environments: A systematic review
Science
1 Apr 2026 | Saf Health Work
Airborne PFAS, including fluorotelomer alcohols, perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids, and perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids, are found at higher levels indoors and in occupational settings than outdoors.

Association of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure with cognitive function in firefighters
Science
25 Mar 2026 | Nature
PFAS, particularly PFOS, may be associated with reduced cognitive processing speed in firefighters based on standardized cognitive testing and statistical modeling of exposure–performance relationships, indicating potential occupational health concerns and the need for exposure reduction.

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aquaculture feeds and potential dietary exposure to and from aquaculture fish
Science
23 Mar 2026 | Food Chem. Toxicol.
PFAS were detected in multiple commercial aquaculture feeds, with PFOS most consistently present, and feeding trials suggesting contaminated feed may contribute to PFAS accumulation in farmed fish tissues presenting an exposure pathway for frequency seafood consumers.

Early-life exposure to per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances and heavy metals and lower lung function in school-age children: A prospective cohort study
Science
23 Mar 2026 | Environmental Research
Early-life exposure to PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, PFDA, and PFUnDA, measured in children’s blood alongside metals such as cadmium and mercury, was associated with reduced lung function at school age.
