Officials are still looking for a solution after Juneau rejected PFAS-contaminated poop from Gustavus
News
8 Apr 2026 | KTOO
But the City and Borough of Juneau stopped accepting septic waste from the community of fewer than 700 residents last March due to concerns over the impacts of PFAS-contaminated sludge.

Penguin ‘toxicologists’ find PFAS chemicals in remote Patagonia
News
8 Apr 2026 | UC Davis
The sensors safely absorbed chemicals from the water, air and surfaces the penguins encountered while the unwitting “toxicologists” foraged to feed their chicks.

Traditional fermentation amplifies PFAS bioaccessibility: Defining fermented fish products as an unrecognized source of dietary exposure
Science
8 Apr 2026 | Environ Sci Technol
Traditional fermentation of fish products may substantially increase the bioaccessibility, and thus potential dietary exposure, of PFAS such as PFOS and PFOA by breaking down proteins and fats during fermentation, which frees PFAS that were previously trapped in the food structure.

Global inventory of fluoropolymer production plants and their associated PFAS environmental contamination
Science
8 Apr 2026 | Environ Sci Technol
A global assessment of industrial sites manufacturing fluorinated polymers indicates that releases of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids, perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids, and ether-based alternatives are commonly detected in air, water, soil, and biota, often at elevated levels and across broad distances.

From environment to organs: Individual and combined effects of MPs and PFAS on urinary system health
Science
7 Apr 2026 | Front Physiol.
A review suggests PFAS may accumulate in the kidneys and disrupt metabolism and hormone balance, potentially contributing to kidney damage, cancer risk, and changes in gene regulation, while co-exposure with microplastics may influence PFAS toxicity by acting as carriers that alter their bioavailability and uptake.

Evers signs PFAS bills into law, releasing $133M to address contamination
Policy
6 Apr 2026
The compromise creates protections for farmers, some businesses and other “innocent landowners” to not be held responsible for PFAS contamination they did not cause. It also allocates $80 million in community grants for testing and remediation efforts.

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.

Associations of serum PFAS with COVID-19 antibody levels among fully vaccinated adults
Science
6 Apr 2026 | Environ. Res.
Higher serum PFAS levels were associated with lower COVID-19 antibody responses in vaccinated adults in a community with historic PFAS drinking water contamination, reinforcing the importance of reducing human exposure through effective policy measures such as establishing and enforcing strong drinking water standards.

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.

Michigan study links PFAS to weaker COVID vaccine response
News
5 Apr 2026 | Mlive.com
In the study’s main analysis, participants with higher PFHxS exposure had about 40 percent lower levels of a key COVID-fighting antibody after vaccination than those in the lower exposure group.

April 3 Policy Watch: EU moves a key step closer to widespread PFAS restrictions
Policy
3 Apr 2026
They considered a Reach restriction covering more than 10,000 substances and their uses in 15 specific sectors. The committees did not consider PFAS use restrictions for eight industrial fields—including printing, medical, and explosives—because of time constraints.

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.

“We’re not holding the polluters accountable,” said Emily Donovan, co-founder of Clean Cape Fear. “The burden should not fall on the communities to clean this up. It should fall on the polluters.”
