When tested on their own and in mice, these bacterial strains from the human microbiome show promise in accumulating PFAS ...

A new study published in Nature Microbiology has reported a naturally occurring family of bacterial species in the human gut ...

Cambridge scientists have spotted gut bacteria that greedily soak up PFAS “forever chemicals,” then ferry them safely out of ...

The newly proposed Military PFAS Transparency Act would create a public online dashboard to track clean-ups of cancer-causing ...

The researchers also conducted chemical analysis for other kinds of PFAS chemicals aside from fluroelastomers - and found that all 22 contained at least some signs of one of the chemicals.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) this year issued restrictions on PFAS in drinking water-the first time that the standards had been finalized for a new chemical since 1996.

Bulky molecules mimic some properties of PFAS without their long-lasting chemical bonds and could replace PFAS in some water-repelling applications. Skip to content. Subscribe or renew today ...

In the lab, the researchers dissolved each PFAS chemical in methanol. They then applied 500 nanograms per square centimeter of the chemicals to models made from lab-grown human epidermis cells for ...

Shortly afterward, Germany, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and Sweden set about developing a text that would affect the entire chemical "universe" of PFAS at once – over 10,000 substances.

A universal definition for PFAS would allow legislators to cover all their bases, restricting the use of PFAS as a collective chemical group and preventing the opportunistic use of new compounds. But ...

PFAS is short for a mouthful of a name: perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. These chemicals were designed not to deteriorate naturally, and to remain grease-, stain- and water-resistant.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of nearly 15,000 chemicals with heat, grease, oil, water, and stain resistant properties. They may be found in consumer products ...
