Co-occurrence, bioaccumulation, and dietary risk assessment of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances and heavy metals in rice
Science
14 Apr 2026 | J Agric Food Chem
Rice grown near a Chinese industrial area was found to accumulate multiple PFAS, including emerging compounds such as HFPO-DA, alongside heavy metals through both soil and irrigation water pathways, with evidence of transfer into edible grains and dietary exposures that may exceed U.S. health-based thresholds.

PFAS released from the metals recovery process of the lithium-ion battery black mass
Science
13 Apr 2026 | J. Hazard. Mater.
PFAS used in lithium-ion batteries, such as bis-FMeSI and LiPF₆, may be mobilized during hydrometallurgical recycling and lithium recovery, with unidentified organofluorine suggests PFAS burdens may be underestimated.

Volatile per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other semi-volatile organic chemicals in indoor air of fire stations: The influence of gear storage conditions
Science
13 Apr 2026 | Environ Sci Process Impacts
Sampling across 11 fire stations identified 14 PFAS and ~120 co-occurring SVOCs in indoor air, with volatile species such as 8:2 FTOH detected at high levels in enclosed gear storage areas, suggesting turnout gear may act as a source of airborne PFAS that could potentially contribute to inhalation exposure and PFOA formation.

Roadkill: An opportunistic strategy to track PFAS in venomous snakes in a South African urban environment
Science
9 Apr 2026 | Arch. Environ. Contam. Toxicol.
Screening 30 PFAS in roadkill from three venomous snake species found high burdens dominated by PFOS and included emerging compounds like 6:2 Cl-PFESA, suggesting terrestrial top predators may serve as sentinels of urban PFAS contamination and help address gaps beyond aquatic monitoring.
