Researchers found high concentrations of toxic “forever chemicals” in seawater offshore Okinawa in 2023, suggesting this ...

Drinking water is a significant source of PFAS exposure, with recent studies detecting PFAS in nearly half of U.S. water systems, particularly in urban areas and near potential sources.

So-called "forever chemicals" have been found in 29 water systems across Colorado. Fixing the problem could be costly for ...

As part of the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) — a public-private partnership initiative for health research and innovation between the EU and Europe’s life science industries — a call was launched ...

The Sierra Club’s Cherokee Group Chairperson, Dave Hoot, acknowledged his own potential exposure. “I know I’ve been exposed to PFAS. I’ve used nonstick cookware in the past and been near ...

Those rules came after the agency said in 2023 that there is no safe level of exposure to those two PFAS. The new E.P.A. assessment “provides important information to help inform future actions ...

Still, if you want to be extra safe, consider wearing your PFAS-treated gear more sparingly, for those times when you really need an additional level of protection. To lower potential exposure ...

In studies examining 11 critical genes governing neuron health, PFAS exposure caused significant disruptions. These genes play vital roles in processes such as neuron survival, synapse development ...

The toxicity of PFAS, concealed by manufacturers for decades, has only been documented by research in the last 15 years. But exposure to these compounds is already associated with a dozen diseases.
