Resource Availability Modulates Effects of Fluorine Free Firefighting Foams
ABSTRACT Fluorine‐free foam (F3) alternatives that lack per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are rapidly being adopted for firefighting operations and will be entering ecosystems. Despite this, little is known about their impact on freshwater communities.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) : blood level estimation tool [PDF]
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are manmade chemicals that have been used in industry and consumer products since the 1940s. They have been used worldwide to make water-repellent clothing, stain resistant fabrics and carpets, some cosmetics,

Wildlife mortality investigations are important toward understanding health threats to wildlife and management considerations. The who, what, why and how are critical pieces of these investigations. Wildlife pathologists play a central role in this process in elucidating causes and contributors to mortality. Abstract To effectively recognize and manage

What Should We Do With Sewage Sludge? Public Preferences for Biosolids Management in Australia
ABSTRACT Biosolids are a solid byproduct of municipal wastewater treatment systems. Conventionally, because of their nutrient and carbon content, most biosolids have been applied to agricultural lands in Australia. However, growing concerns over methane emissions, ongoing management and transportation costs and contaminants of emerging concern, such as

PFAS Leaching from Common Sampling Materials Using a Standardized Protocol
Abstract Accurate measurement of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in environmental samples requires minimizing external contamination sources, yet the sampling items themselves can introduce PFAS. Existing sampling guidance often relies on precautionary assumptions rather than empirical data, and prior studies have lacked standardized ...

Toward an urban soil health index: Emerging indicators for exposure, function, and resilience
Abstract Urban soils are among the most dynamic and human‐impacted soil systems, yet most soil health frameworks remain rooted in agricultural assumptions, capturing fertility and structure while missing urban‐specific concerns: contaminant exposure, extreme heterogeneity, thermal stress, and degraded ecosystem services.
