Certain types of microbes found in the human gut can absorb toxic “forever chemicals” from their surroundings, a new study ...

Mouse study shows human gut bacteria can absorb PFAS, hinting at potential pathways to cut “forever chemicals” in the body.

The exact number and types of PFAS are unknown, but it’s estimated to be ~5,000, with >98% of them lacking bioaccumulation and toxicity data. Exposure to PFAS occurs mixtures that vary in the number ...

However, their persistence in the environment and bioaccumulation in living organisms have raised serious health concerns, with a growing body of research linking PFAS exposure to serious health ...

Most PFAS bioaccumulation in the adults was found in the ovaries of the females, though the researchers found it also in other organs such as the liver, kidneys and heart.

Her research includes chemical fate, analytical tools, waste reuse, bioaccumulation, and contaminant remediation and management strategies with PFAS challenges driving much of her research for the ...

The USEPA announced on Thursday announced that it would Tech and A&M each $1.6 million to fund community-engaged research projects to collect PFAS bioaccumulation data in agricultural plants and ...

As part of the EPA research grant, Texas A&M will study PFAS uptake and bioaccumulation in plants and "advance strategies to remediate PFAS in biosolids" and the soils they end up in.

The USEPA announced on Thursday announced that it would Tech and A&M each $1.6 million to fund community-engaged research projects to collect PFAS bioaccumulation data in agricultural plants and ...

This is known as bioaccumulation. Professor O'Carroll said it was a "significant concern" that low traces of PFAS were estimated to be present in the blood of more than 99 per cent people worldwide.

Each PFAS compound behaves differently in the environment, depending on factors like its fluorination level, degradation pathways, and potential for bioaccumulation. Understanding the specific ...
