First report on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in coral communities from the Northern South China sea: Occurrence, seasonal variation, and interspecies differences
Science
20 Sep 2022 | Environ Pollut
PFHxS accounted for 43% of total PFAS detected in corals with short-chain PFAS concentrations higher than legacy PFAS, though concentrations depended on seasonal factors and coral type.

Associations of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances with gestational hypertension and blood pressure during pregnancy: A cohort study
Science
8 Sep 2022 | Environ Res
Higher concentrations of PFAS during early pregnancy were associated with lower gestational hypertension risk and reduced blood pressure measures in the third trimester in a population with relatively high exposure levels.

Association between fish oil supplements use and serum per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Science
29 Aug 2022 | Environ Res
Fish oil supplement consumers did not have increased serum PFAS levels, specifically, but some inverse associations observed between the supplement use and PFOS levels in older adults and females need further study.

Food Grown on Fire Stations as a Potential Pathway for Firefighters’ Exposure to Per-and Poly-Fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
Science
15 Aug 2022 | Environ. Int.
Firefighters may be most exposed to PFAS by consuming food grown on fire stations, followed by incidental ingestion and dermal absorption of PFAS in dust.
-
Outside the Safe Operating Space of a New Planetary Boundary for Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
Science
2 Aug 2022 | ES&T
PFAS have been detected at unsafe levels in rain globally, leading to the conclusions that the spread of PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS, and PFNA in the atmosphere has exceeded levels of concern for chemical pollution and that PFAS uses and emissions should be rapidly restricted.

Associations of prenatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances with preterm birth: A family-based birth cohort study
Science
7 Jul 2022 | Environ Res
Higher family-level PFNA and PFDA exposure were associated with greater preterm birth risk, but the results on an individual level were contradictory.

Co-exposure to perfluoroalkyl acids and heavy metals mixtures associated with impaired kidney function in adults: A community-based population study in China
Science
6 Jun 2022 | Sci Total Environ
