Hereditary PCOS and the environmental toxicant F-53B converge on lipid metabolic reprogramming to impair fetal brain development
Science
8 Jun 2026 | Ecotoxicol. Environ. Saf.
Maternal polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) and exposure to F-53B together may harm fetal brain development by disrupting lipid metabolism and reducing important brain cells needed for normal nerve and glial cell formation. F-53B (chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonates) for decades have been used as a PFOS alternative in Chinese electroplating industries and is now frequently detected in surface waters, biota, and human samples.

Robbinsdale officials seek cause of elevated levels of PFAS in city's drinking water
News
5 Jun 2026 | CBS News
"The drinking water wells for the city are actually deeper than that. They're 400 feet. So, by testing the waters as they go down to about 300 feet, there might be different levels of PFAS in different layers under the ground," he said.

Dynamic exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and early alterations in cardiovascular hemodynamics: A 10-year longitudinal study in adolescents and young adults
Science
5 Jun 2026 | Int J Hyg Environ Health
A long-term study of 310 adolescents and young Taiwanese adults indicates that PFAS exposure may contribute to early cardiovascular changes in young people by increasing vascular resistance and lowering cardiac output.

Serum PFAS mixtures and risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in women undergoing assisted reproduction
Science
1 Jun 2026 | Environ Int
Higher levels of some PFAS were linked to a dangerous side effect of fertility treatment that can make the ovaries swell and cause fluid buildup or other serious health problems supporting the rationale for preconception PFAS biomonitoring and targeted exposure reduction in reproductive-age women.

The cost of “forever”: Economic implications of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mitigation in drinking water and their impact on water affordability
Science
27 May 2026 | ACS ES&T Water
PFAS mitigation models in California suggest household water bills could rise by about $58 per month under the strictest scenario, with the greatest affordability burden falling on groundwater-dependent and lower-income communities, where water costs may exceed the 2.5% income threshold.

Why Trump administration’s plan to attempt to destroy PFAS is ‘nonsensical’
Policy
26 May 2026
“No one has said they can destroy PFAS on a large scale,” said Bennett, who is now with the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) non-profit. “From what we know about PFAS, this is not going to work, and to say ‘We’re going to destroy it so we don’t need to regulate it’ is b*******”

Environmental exposure to emerging per‐and polyfluoroalkyl substances and cardiovascular diseases: A mixture analysis
Science
26 May 2026 | Health Science Reports
An NHANES 2015-2020 mixture analysis found that higher serum PFAS exposure, especially PFOA, PFNA, ME-PFOSA-AcOH, was associated with higher risk of cardiovascular impairments such as heart attack, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, and stroke while higher combined PFAS exposure was associated with increased odds of all evaluated cardiovascular outcomes.

Notable impact of urban ventilation corridors on the transport of particle-bound ultrashort-chain perfluoroalkyl substances in the atmosphere
Science
26 May 2026 | J. Hazard. Mater.
In Beijing, China, PFAS were found attached to tiny air pollution particles throughout the city, especially during colder months, with urban wind corridors appearing to carry these chemicals through the air rather than simply clearing pollution away.
