The differences in levels of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the hair of wild terrestrial mammals with various feeding behaviour
Science
3 Mar 2026 | Sci Rep
PFAS were detected in the hair of wild mammals including wolves, red foxes, badgers, wild boar, and deer, with higher levels generally observed in predatory species such as wolves and foxes, suggesting environmental exposure and possible biomagnification through food webs.

New Jersey Enacts PFAS-in-Products Statute with Category-Based Sales Ban, Labeling for Cookware, and Funding of Source Reduction and Research Programs
Policy

PFAS reduction during biosolids drying correlates to initial moisture content and is accompanied by detection of PFAS in dryer condensate
Science
2 Mar 2026 | Environ. Sci.: Water Res. Technol.
Drying of wastewater biosolids may reduce detectable PFAS concentrations, but the study suggests this reduction is partly due to PFAS transferring into vapor condensate or transforming into other forms, meaning the process could shift contamination rather than eliminate it and may require additional treatment controls to prevent environmental release.

Worried about forever chemicals? There's 1 simple trick that will immediately reduce your exposure
News
27 Feb 2026 | HuffPost
“One of the things that I like to recommend since it’s just so easy, is that washing your hands before you eat can greatly reduce chemical exposures in your body since things like flame retardants and other things stick to dust — they get on our hands or whatnot,” Stoiber said.

Men in their 50s may be aging faster than women due to toxic ‘forever chemicals’
News
27 Feb 2026 | CNN
“The associations between PFAS exposure and accelerated epigenetic aging were strongest in men aged 50 – 65,” said senior study author Xiangwei Li, a professor of epidemiology at China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, in an email.

Association between prenatal exposure to per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances and pubertal development in boys and girls in the Spanish INMA cohort
Science
26 Feb 2026 | Environ Res
Prenatal exposure to PFHxS, PFOS, PFOA, and PFNA may be associated with changes in the timing of puberty, with PFHxS linked to earlier adrenal maturation in girls and PFOS showing mixed patterns across sexes, supporting concerns that PFAS may influence endocrine pathways during development.

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and menstrual cycle characteristics in midlife women: The Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation
Science
26 Feb 2026 | Reprod Toxicol
Higher serum concentrations of several PFAS, including PFOS, PFOA, PFNA, and PFHxS, were associated with greater variability in menstrual cycle length and shorter or lighter menstrual bleeding among midlife women.

Emerging PFAS contaminants PFNA and PFSA amplify epigenetic aging: Sex-and age-stratified risks in an aging population
Science
25 Feb 2026 | Frontiers in Aging
Higher serum levels of perfluorononanoic acid perfluoroalkane sulfonic acid were associated with accelerated DNA methylation–based aging markers in older U.S. adults, particularly mortality-related measures in males and middle-aged individuals.

Diet and everyday product use and serum per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances levels in the Korean population: Findings from the Korean national environmental health survey
Science
23 Feb 2026 | Environ. Res.
Higher serum PFAS levels were most strongly associated with seafood intake, especially fish and shellfish, and with use of food contact materials such as disposable paper cups, plastic pouches, and coated cookware, while a distinct pattern suggested PFHxS may be more closely linked to fast food consumption and personal care or household products.

Characteristics of 'early adopters' of water treatment capacity needed to remove PFAS and other emerging contaminants in the United States
Science
23 Feb 2026 | Environ Sci Process Impacts
Using a national time-to-event analysis of more than 36,000 U.S. community water systems, researchers found that larger systems adopted PFAS-relevant treatment technologies such as reverse osmosis and activated carbon substantially faster than smaller systems, and that systems serving higher proportions of Black residents were less likely to adopt these technologies.
