A comprehensive analytical approach to monitoring selected emerging contaminant classes in sewage sludge and e-waste from Norway
Science
19 May 2025 | J. Environ. Chem. Ecotoxicol.
Norwegian researchers found that anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge converts PFAS precursors into highly mobile perfluorocarboxylic acids and leaves more persistent long‑chain PFAS, while discarded e‑waste plastics, although less contaminated, still harbor up to 176 ng g⁻¹ of PFAS, indicating that both sludge treatment and electronics recycling inadvertently leak these pollutants.

Skin sampling as a proxy for screening per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposures in endangered sea turtles
Science
19 May 2025 | Mar Pollut Bull
Small skin samples collected from stranded green sea turtles in Texas showed PFAS levels, especially PFOS, that closely matched those in the turtles’ blood, demonstrating that quick, minimally invasive skin biopsies can reliably track exposure to these persistent pollutants in endangered populations.
