Minnesota’s MSW incinerators effectively destroy PFAS, study finds
News
1 Jun 2026 | Waste Drive
Combustion facilities in Minnesota turning municipal solid waste into energy and ash appear to be destroying somewhere between 99.6% and 99.97% of per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds, according to a study commissioned by the Minnesota Resource Recovery Association.

PFAS released from the metals recovery process of the lithium-ion battery black mass
Science
13 Apr 2026 | J. Hazard. Mater.
PFAS used in lithium-ion batteries, such as bis-FMeSI and LiPF₆, may be mobilized during hydrometallurgical recycling and lithium recovery, with unidentified organofluorine suggests PFAS burdens may be underestimated.

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.

PFAS in commercially available organic amendments and food-contact paper products
Science
1 Feb 2026 | Sci Total Environ
PFHxA and other short-chain PFCAs are dominant in composts and food-contact paper products, with PFOS dominant in biosolid-derived fertilizers, suggesting different waste sources may introduce distinct PFAS mixtures into soils used for gardening and agriculture.

Formation of perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) from the incomplete thermal decomposition of perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA
Science
16 Dec 2025 | ACS ES&T Air
PFOS and PFOA thermal treatment may consistently produce multiple perfluorocarboxylic acids and volatile fluorinated byproducts at suboptimal temperatures despite near-complete parent destruction, highlighting potential emissions concerns and uncertainties about the specific formation pathways.
