Evaluating Legacy and Emerging PFAS in Human Blood Collected from 2003 to 2021
Science
21 Jan 2026 | Environ Sci Technol
Analysis of U.S. blood samples suggests that although phased-out PFAS such as PFOS and PFOA have declined, replacement PFAS including 9Cl-PF3ONS, 6:2 DiPAP, and related phosphonate and phosphate compounds are increasingly detected, raising concerns since their sources, toxicity, and long-term health relevance remain poorly understood.

Bioaccumulation of PFOS Isomers in Transporter Proteins
Science
8 Jan 2026 | Chem Res Toxicol
Structural differences among PFOS isomers are associated with differing interactions with fatty acid transporter proteins, with some branched isomers potentially exhibiting comparable or greater bioaccumulation potential than linear PFOS based on combined in vitro uptake and molecular modeling results.

Fate, bioaccumulation, and toxic responses of PFOA, PFOS, and GenX in the paddy soil-rice system across the full growth cycle
Science
1 Jan 2026 | J Hazard Mater
Analysis of a full growth cycle study in paddy soil suggests that PFOA, PFOS, and the replacement PFAS GenX may disrupt rice growth and induce oxidative stress. GenX is showing greater upward movement into edible tissues, highlighting potential food-chain relevance and informing proposed soil safety thresholds for rice cultivation.

Unforeseen risks due to the use of fluorinated materials for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance removal
Science
30 Dec 2025 | Nature
Researchers report that fluorinated materials used for PFAS removal may inadvertently release additional fluorinated compounds during production, use, or disposal, suggesting that non-fluorinated alternatives offer safer options for treatment technologies.

Shaw Industries invents testing methodology to detect PFAS
News
19 Dec 2025 | Floor Covering Weekly
“What we discovered is that drinking water testing wasn’t accurate for soaps, oils, resins and other solid materials—really anything other than drinking water. An adequate testing methodology didn’t exist, so we invented one.”

Reevaluating PFAS exposure risks from marine fish
Science
18 Dec 2025 | Science
A global modeling analysis finds that legacy PFAS exposure from marine fish may now be low for most countries due to production phaseouts, yet remains higher in places with very high seafood intake such as Greenland and Denmark, offering important insight for refining fish consumption guidance and noting where potential risk persists.

Development and validation of an LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of 39 PFAS in soil samples: applications to playgrounds in Attica, Greece
Science
4 Dec 2025 | Anal Bioanal Chem
An optimized research method was found to be a useful tool for environmental and public-health decision making by reliably detecting 39 PFAS in playground soils, and the results suggest that some PFAS levels may potentially exceed a precautionary child-health screening value of about 100 ng per kg of body weight per day.

EWG to Lee Zeldin: PFAS pesticides are bad news, not ‘fake news’
News
2 Dec 2025 | EWG
The EPA uses a narrow definition of PFAS that excludes PFAS pesticides it’s recently approved. Under this definition, only three currently approved pesticide active ingredients would be considered PFAS: broflanilide, pyrifluquinazon and noviflumuron.
