Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) and Female Reproductive Outcomes: PFAS Elimination, Endocrine-Mediated Effects, and Disease
Science
30 Nov 2021 | Toxicology
A summary of the role of PFAS in female reproductive dysfunction and disease is presented with the major data gaps, highlighting the importance for further study of the action mechanisms of PFAS harm in women.

Tumor and serum levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) in hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal malignancy
Science
30 Nov 2021 | Am J Surg
Cancer patients had higher levels of PFOS than the national average and those with higher blood serum levels of PFOS were more likely to have higher levels of PFOS in tumors.

Species- and Tissue-Specific Chronic Toxicity Values for Northern Bobwhite Quail (Colinus virginianus) Exposed to PFHxA and a Binary Mixture of PFOS and PFHxA
Science
30 Nov 2021 | Environ Toxicol Chem
PFHxA was more toxic to reproducing birds than either PFOS or a PFOS:PFHxS mixture, suggesting that avian PFAS toxicity is not necessarily additive.

PFASs pollution in Galveston Bay surface waters and biota (shellfish and fish) following AFFFs use during the ITC fire at Deer Park (March 17th-20th 2019), Houston, TX
Science
30 Nov 2021 | Sci Total Environ
High PFAS levels were measured in water following AFFF usage on a nearby petrochemical fire and a risk assessment suggested a fish consumption advisory to protect against human exposure.

Distribution, source identification and health risk assessment of PFASs in groundwater from Jiangxi Province, China
Science
30 Nov 2021 | Chemosphere
Monitoring in China suggests that PFBA, PFPeA, 6:2 FTS and F–53B are broadly used replacements of PFOA and PFOS with estimated daily intakes of short-chain PFCAs higher than that of PFOA.

Impaired gross motor development in infants with higher PFAS concentrations
Science
30 Nov 2021 | Environ Res
Maternal fish intake determined infant PFAS levels and was associated with poorer infant gross motor development.

Poly- and Perfluorinated Alkyl Substances in Air and Water from Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Science
30 Nov 2021 | Environ Toxicol Chem
The prevalence of 6:2 FTOH and PFBA across sites likely reflects their usage in textile manufacturing and could indicate the industry's switch to shorter chain PFAS.

Distribution and ten-year temporal trends (2009-2018) of perfluoroalkyl substances in gull eggs from Spanish breeding colonies
Science
30 Nov 2021 | Environ Pollut
Total PFAS concentrations in gull eggs decreased through the 10-year study period in all but one colony, highlighting the usefulness of gull eggs as bioindicators of PFAS pollution in water and fish.

Prenatal exposure to poly-/per-fluoroalkyl substances is associated with alteration of lipid profiles in cord-blood
Science
30 Nov 2021 | Metabolomics
Prenatal PFAS exposure may explain associations between PFAS exposure and adverse health conditions later in life, such as type 2 diabetes.

Maine found ‘forever chemicals’ in deer, but has no idea how widespread the problem is
News
24 Nov 2021 | Bangor Daily News
The discovery of “forever chemicals” in deer in central Maine and the subsequent guidance to not eat the meat raises serious questions about whether it is safe to consume venison killed in areas of the state where high levels of the chemicals have been detected or are suspected to exist.

Uptake of perfluoroalkyl substances, pharmaceuticals, and parabens by oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) and exposure risk in human consumption
Science
24 Nov 2021 | Chemosphere
Uptake of PFAS by oyster mushrooms was negatively correlated with perfluorocarbon chain length, and mushrooms grown in soil contaminated by PFAS may pose a risk if consumed.
