PFAS Vadose Zone Mass Discharge at an AFFF‐Impacted Site: 1. Validation Based on a Multiple Lines‐of‐Evidence Approach

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Questions have recently been raised about the suitability of using porewater samples collected with suction lysimeters to estimate per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mass discharge in the vadose zone. Multiple lines of evidence were evaluated to determine if porewater samples collected during a data gaps investigation in the former ...

Incidence of ocular conditions associated with perfluoroalkyl substances exposure: Isomers of C8 Health Project in China

Environment International, 2020
The detrimental effects of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) on several physiological systems have been reported, but the association of PFASs with eye, one of the most sensitive and exposed organ, has never been explored.

Dietary Interventions May Mitigate Health Risks of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Exposure Through Modulation of the Gut Microbiota: A Review

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 6, November 2026.
Dietary interventions, including probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics, may modulate gut microbiota to regulate PFAS accumulation and elimination. Specific microbial taxa facilitate PFAS removal through adsorption and bioaccumulation, potentially reducing internal PFAS burden and mitigating PFAS‐related health risks.

Electroconductive MXene‐Thin‐Film‐Composite Membranes for Coupled Osmotic Concentration and PFAS Mineralization

Small, Volume 22, Issue 61, 2 November 2026.
An electroconductive MXene‐TFC membrane integrates osmotic dewatering with anodic oxidation to concentrate and mineralize PFOA at the membrane interface. The coupled AO‐PRO configuration accelerates degradation kinetics, achieves 99% rejection and up to 93% TOC removal, and lowers specific energy demand, offering a compact route for PFAS destruction ...

Enhanced sorption of perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoate by hydrotalcites

Environmental Technology & Innovation, 2021
Abstract Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) are recalcitrant compounds that are toxic to humans and ecosystems. Hydrotalcite-like compounds have emerged as promising PFOS and PFOA sorbents due to their high anion exchange capacity and high specific surface area.
