Environmental occurance, human exposure, and metabolism of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances—a review

Environmental Research Communications
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are known as ‘forever chemical’, commonly used in commercial and daily-life products. Due to their special physico-chemical characteristics, PFASs have been found in various environmental matrices, and can be ...

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 792-810, May 2026.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Associations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and their mixture with risk of rheumatoid arthritis in the U.S. adult population

Environmental Health
Background Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known environmental contaminants with immunosuppressive properties. Their connection to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a condition influenced by the immune system, is not well studied.

Enteric Nervous System Damage by Food Contaminants: A Pathway to Neurodegeneration?

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The enteric nervous system (ENS), a key component of the gut–brain axis, has emerged as a critical player in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). It is the first neural system exposed to food contaminants (FCs)—a diverse group of ubiquitous toxic compounds fortuitously present in food derived from production, processing, storage, or ...

Microplastic Impacts on Seafood: A Global Synthesis of Experimental Findings

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 591-606, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Plastic pollution is a growing global concern, with plastic and microplastic particles now widespread in aquatic environments. Microplastics are frequently ingested by marine organisms, including commercially important seafood species. Ingestion can lead to a range of biological effects, influenced by the size, type and quantity of plastic, as
