Report to the legislature: Assessments of feasibility of regulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water as the entire class or as certain subclasses or mixtures and treatment technologies for removal of PFAS from drinking water or wastewater
Policy
21 Apr 2026
The report concludes that it currently is infeasible to develop a class-wide PFAS drinking water standard, but it leaves the door open for that circumstance changing. It also mentions California’s efforts to develop a broad spectrum analytical approach for PFAS and a treatment-based regulation for the entire class of PFAS.

Diet, lifestyle, and sociodemographic influences on serum concentration of PFASs: Insights from human biomonitoring in Switzerland.
Science
17 Apr 2026 | Environ Int
Human biomonitoring in Swiss adults suggests PFAS in the body are largely driven by older, persistent compounds and tend to increase with age and in males, while higher levels are linked to exposures like local freshwater fish consumption and certain product uses, indicating that multiple, compound-specific pathways contribute to overall PFAS burden.
