Concentrations of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in private well drinking water and serum of individuals exposed to PFAS through biosolids: The Maine Biosolids Study
Science
20 Oct 2025 | Environ. Pollut.
Individuals living near farmland where PFAS-contaminated biosolids were historically applied had elevated PFAS in their private well water and blood, especially PFOA, which showed a strong water-to-serum correlation, demonstrating that biosolids can be a major exposure source and that some people may still have high serum levels even when their current water meets standards.

Emerging PFAS in Songbird Eggs from a Belgian Hotspot Site
Science
17 Oct 2025 | Environ Res
Songbird eggs collected near a fluorochemical plant in Belgium contained record-high levels of both legacy and emerging PFAS, including newly detected compounds like SF5-PFSAs and ether-substituted PFAS, showing that PFAS continue to accumulate in wildlife and should be included in future monitoring and risk assessments.

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in urban stormwater runoff: Insights from a roadside rain garden
Science
16 Oct 2025 | Water
A New Jersey roadside rain garden removed less than 1% of the 1,400–1,600 ng/L of PFAS (mainly PFBS and PFHxA) found in stormwater, showing that current stormwater systems are ineffective in removing PFAS and need advanced treatment and stronger policies.

Birds Near US Military Bases Have Higher Levels of PFAS, Study Finds
News
16 Oct 2025 | Newsweek
While the findings are "not surprising," as many PFAS chemicals can "move from the environment into the bodies of living organisms," a process called bioaccumulation, the way in which these chemicals are affecting environmental health is "concerning," Jamie DeWitt, director of the Environmental Health Sciences Center at Oregon State University, who was not involved in the study, told Newsweek.

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food and its contribution to human exposure.
Science
15 Oct 2025 | Curr. Opin. Food Sci.
PFAS in common foods like seafood, eggs, meat and contaminated local produce can raise blood levels above health-based guidance values, with 14% of European teenagers already exceeding these limits, showing that food is a major exposure source and that better monitoring, regulation and dietary strategies are needed.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances exposure in hexavalent chromium exposed workers and the effects of exposure mixtures on oxidative stress and genomic instability
Science
12 Oct 2025 | Environ Pollut
Workers in chrome-plating and similar industries are exposed to toxic hexavalent chromium alongside very high levels of PFAS such as PFOS and PFDA, and this combined exposure is linked to early signs of oxidative stress and DNA changes that may increase the risk of cancer, mitochondrial damage, and impaired DNA repair over time.
