Researchers investigate PFAS levels in Sarasota Bay dolphins, who like humans, eat fish contaminated by plastic. Here's how their NIEHS project is progressing.
Researchers of a study published in Environmental Science & Technology say healthy alternatives to conventional furnishing materials reduce PFAS levels and don't have to cost more or work less effectively.
Buildings renovated with healthier furnishings had significantly lower levels of the entire group of per- and polyfluoralkyl substances (PFAS) than conventionally furnished buildings.
Five PFAS receive 'final toxicity values' from EPA, while four other PFAS that used to be confidential are also automatically added to the Toxics Release Inventory.
As part of EPA’s PFAS Strategic Roadmap, the Agency also proposed a rule in December 2022 to enhance PFAS reporting to TRI by eliminating an exemption for small concentrations.
The honor recognizes Arizona DEQ for completing an expedited site characterization and remediation of PFAS in groundwater to protect the City of Tucson’s drinking water.
The information EPA receives under this order will not only improve the Agency’s understanding of human health effects of HFPO, but also the effects of dozens of PFAS.
Following California's recent ban of Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, or PFAS, in clothes and makeup, New York is amending its environmental code to ban clothing with PFAS from being sold in the state.
The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) is taking steps to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) impacted soil in the vicinity of the Kahului Airport (OGG).
Modeling the movement of PFAS through the unsaturated zone has traditionally required a lot of guesswork and immense computational power. New work aims to change this.
