The latest NIST study provides more information about exposure risk for firefighters from their firefighting protective gear.

Forever chemicals” per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been found in smartwatch and fitness bands and analyzed ...

An investigation into fluoroelastomer watch bands has revealed high levels of perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), a short-chain ...

In 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) took significant steps to regulate per- and polyfluoroalkyl ...

Researchers found that chemicals, including PFAS, from pharmaceuticals are entering into wastewater — which can be used as drinking water during times of drought.

Researchers examine how long-term exposure to widely used per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) detrimentally affect ...

Still, the study found that hundreds more genes whose expression changed in different directions based on the compound tested. Plus, there was no correlation between the level at which PFAS ...

These approximately 23 million people may be consuming these toxic compounds, also known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), in their drinking water, according to the study, published ...

They analyzed 34 PFAS compounds and screened 766 small-molecule organofluorine pharmaceuticals. Total PFAS precursors were estimated using a TOP assay with Bayesian inference. The DRINCS model was ...

The rest of the fluorinated compounds and PFAS present in the wastewater are not regulated by the EPA, he said. Some included precursor chemicals that can chemically transform into the regulated ...
