Magnetism for the Quantification of Sorption in Porous Materials From Liquid Media

Chemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2026.
This adsorption quantification technique uses external magnetic fields and a magnetic holder to measure mass changes during adsorption, making it universally applicable to any adsorbate. Unlike standard methods, it requires calibration only for the adsorbent rather than for every analyte.

Impact of organic pollutants on phenotype and gene expression in human breast cancer cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 5, Page 1487-1505, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Human exposure to industrial chemical compounds is widespread and, although often beneficial, prolonged contact may contribute to disease development, including cancer. While many studies have shown organic pollutants (OP) are cytotoxic, few have explored how long‐term exposure alters cell phenotype.

Association between Perfluoroalkyl Substances in Follicular Fluid and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Infertile Women

Toxics
In recent years, perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), a family of fluorinated organic com pounds, have garnered much attention due to their reproductive and developmental toxicity in humans. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disease

Research on Restriction Regulations and Detection Techniques for Perfluorinated and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Perfluorinated and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are substances represented by perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), which have excellent thermal and chemical stability, and are persistent organic pollutants (POPS ...

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

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

The evolution of PFAS epidemiology: new scientific developments call into question alleged “probable links” between PFOA and kidney cancer and thyroid disease

Frontiers in Public Health
The growing body of litigation alleging bodily injury from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure has put a spotlight on the available scientific literature regarding potential human health impacts, and the various data gaps within the ...

Homogeneous Copper(I) Electrocatalyzed Degradation of Ultra‐Short and Long‐Chain Perfluoroalkyl Substances

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Molecular copper(I) electrocatalyst promoted ultra‐short and long‐chain perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) degradation under ambient homogeneous electrochemical conditions. Substrate scopes also include fluoroalkyl alcohols and trifluoroacetic acid. Controlled‐current electrolysis studies in the presence of the copper(I) catalyst showed the defluorination

Effects of Perfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) on Amphibian Body and Liver Conditions: Is Lipid Metabolism Being Perturbed throughout Metamorphosis?

Toxics
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may interact with peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) and alter lipid homeostasis. Using Xenopus laevis, we investigated the effect of PFAS on (a) lipid homeostasis and whether this correlated to
