What's New With PFAS This Week

Happy New's Year! Thank you so much for subscribing to and reading the What's New With PFAS This Week Newsletter! And many thanks to Regenesis for their sponsorship of the newsletter!

In a typical week more than 100 peer reviewed PFAS related articles are published--below is a small sample of recent articles.

PFAS covers many different subject areas--ranging from wastewater treatment to law to fashion.

Peer Reviewed Research


Alukkal, C. R., et al. (2025). "Evaluation of PFAS extraction and analysis methods for biosolids." Talanta 286 C7 - 127485.

This study compares three methods for PFAS quantitation, evaluating solvent extraction, clean-up techniques, and final injection solvents. Three biosolids examined included not stabilized, anaerobically digested, and activated sludge with long-term lagoon-stabilized solids, resulting in differing properties. ? 2024 The Authors

?

Bonato, T., et al. (2025). "Contamination of the terrestrial food chain by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and related human health risks: A systematic review." Sci Total Environ 961: 178337.

Collect scientific evidence of the presence of PFAS in diverse food and edible resources along with the related risks to human health, pursuing the following objectives: determination of the level of terrestrial food chain contamination; determination of the related human health risk.

Duan, L., et al. (2025). "Mechanism of Z-scheme BN/BiOI heterojunction for efficient photodegradation of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)." Separation and Purification Technology 360 C7 - 131229. ??????????

In this study, a Z-scheme photocatalyst BN/BiOI was developed and evaluated for its efficacy in photodegrading PFOS. Notably, after 2 h of reaction, 100 % removal of PFOS (kobs = 1.278 h?1) was achieved, alongside a 100 % desulfurization rate and a 45.40 % defluorination rate after 6 h. ? 2024 Elsevier B.V.

?

Ebel, M., et al. (2025). "Common infections in children aged 6 months to 7 years after high prenatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances from contaminated drinking water in Ronneby, Sweden." Environ Res: 120787.

To investigate the association between prenatal PFAS exposure from contaminated drinking water and common infections in children aged 6 months to 7 years in Ronneby, Sweden.

?

Guo, Z., et al. (2025). "Photochemical Formation of Trifluoroacetic Acid: Mechanistic Insights into a Fluoxetine-Related Aryl-CF(3) Compound." Environ Sci Technol.

Here, we studied the aqueous photochemistry of 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol (4-TFMP), a known transformation product of the pharmaceutical fluoxetine.

?

Jansen, P., et al. (2025). "Integrating human biomonitoring exposure data into a primary care morbidity database: a feasibility study." Environmental Health: A Global Access Science Source 24(1 C7 - 1).

Background: The detection of a local per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pollution hotspot in Zwijndrecht (Belgium) necessitated immediate action to address health concerns of the local community. Several human biomonitoring (HBM) studies were initiated, gathering cross-sectional exposure data from more than 10,000 participants. ? The Author(s) 2025.

?

Jiao, Y., et al. (2025). "Association Between Serum Levels of Perfluoroalkyl and?Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Dental Floss Use:?The?Double-Edged Sword of Dental Floss Use-A Cross-Sectional Study." J Clin Periodontol.

?We analysed data on serum PFAS concentrations and dental floss usage in a cohort of 6750 adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2009 to 2020.

?

Koloka, O., et al. (2025). "PFAS residue analysis in fish and fish feed by applying a modified QuEChERS method in combination with LC-HRMS detection." Emerging Contaminants 11(2 C7 - 100467).

?A targeted method for the quantitative determination of PFAS residues in fish feed and marine aquaculture fish species was developed and validated in the current study. This method combines a modified QuEChERS extraction methodology that includes sonication followed by Liquid Chromatography- Linear Ion Trap/Orbitrap High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC- LTQ/Orbitrap HRMS) analysis. ? 2025 The Authors

?

Li, S., et al. (2025). "Associations between per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and county-level cancer incidence between 2016 and 2021 and incident cancer burden attributable to PFAS in drinking water in the United States." J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol.

We obtained county-level age-adjusted cancer incidence (2016-2021) from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program. Data on PFAS levels in public drinking water systems were obtained from the Third (UCMR3; 2013-2015) and Fifth (UCMR5; 2023-2024) Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule.

?

Lupton, S. J., et al. (2025). "Tissue histology and depuration of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from dairy cattle with lifetime exposures to PFAS-contaminated drinking water and feed." Food Addit Contam Part A Chem Anal Control Expo Risk Assess: 1-17.

Plasma, milk and tissue samples were collected from 30 dairy cattle (0.4 to 8.9?years of age) with lifetime exposures to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) removed from a PFAS-contaminated farm and provided PFAS-free feed and water.

FREE eBOOK - Understanding PFAS Remediation Using Colloidal Activated Carbon


  • Colloidal activated carbon (CAC) offers a low-cost, zero-waste PFAS solution
  • CAC converts the subsurface into a purifying filter
  • How does activated carbon adsorb contaminants and what primary factors govern sorption behavior?
  • How does a CAC barrier contain PFAS over the long term?

PFAS Source Treatment – Case Study


  • SourceStop? Liquid, a colloidal activated carbon (CAC), was applied as a permeable sorptive barrier to reduce PFAS migration hydraulically.
  • The permeable sorptive barrier was designed and implemented downstream of the excavation area to mitigate the ongoing dissolved-phase transport of PFAS during and post-excavation.
  • Through nine months of monitoring, the two primary PFAS of concern, PFOA and PFOS, have been reduced by 96% and 98%, respectively, while Total PFAS has been reduced by 94%.
