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.

Invasive Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) as sentinels for PFAS biomonitoring in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem.
Science
6 Apr 2026 | Sci Total Environ
PFAS, particularly PFOS along with long-chain PFCAs such as PFOA, PFNA, and PFDA, were widely detected and bioaccumulated in Burmese pythons from the Everglades, suggesting these apex predators may reflect ecosystem-level contamination and exposure risks.

Alarming pet food study is causing great concern among dog and cat owners
News
3 Apr 2026 | Earth.com
Across 100 products sold in Japan, the team screened 34 PFAS and found contamination across dog and cat foods alike, mainly from contaminated fish ingredients.

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.

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.

[Public Comment] Consultation on the SEAC draft opinion on restricting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) – Guidance for respondents
Policy
30 Mar 2026
This second public consultation will differ from the first by focusing only on uses, derogations, and alternatives, using a survey format with limited space for responses and no attachments, and reflecting SEAC’s detailed evaluation of only the 14 sectors included in the original 2023 restriction proposal due to time constraints.

Impact of regulatory actions to establish maximum contaminant levels on per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances in New Jersey public water systems
Science
30 Mar 2026 | Environ. Int.
State-level actions to establish drinking water limits for PFOA, PFOS, and PFNA were associated with substantial reductions in contamination levels in New Jersey public water systems, suggesting such regulatory approaches may effectively reduce exposure.

EPA should intervene on behalf of towns for PFAS in biosolids, filings argue
Policy
27 Mar 2026
The briefs were filed one week after Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), an advocacy group, formally filed an appeal in their case seeking to compel EPA to regulate PFAS in biosolids. A judge previously dismissed PEER’s case in September.

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.
