Basics and Perspectives of Visible and Near‐UV Light‐Induced Defluorination of Perfluoroalkylsubstances by Semiconductor Nanocrystals

ChemPhotoChem, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review highlights recent advances in the light‐driven destruction of persistent per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) using semiconductor nanocrystals. By exploiting nonlinear photophysical and photochemical processes, these nanomaterials harness energy‐efficient visible and near‐UV light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) to drive extreme reduction ...

Millimeter/Nano‐Structured Metal Monolithic Catalysts: A Privileged Opportunity for Sustainable Water Purification

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cross‐scale assembly of metal (sub) nanoparticles and/or single atoms into millimeter/nanostructured metal monolithic catalysts (Min‐SMCs) is highly appealing for sustainable water cleanup, due to energy‐efficient catalyst recyclability, high infrastructure compatibility, and low metal‐releasing risks.

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

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

Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2, Zearalenone, and Ochratoxin A in Cereals, Cereal‐Based Products and Baby Food: Method Validation, Monitoring Study and Exposure Assessment of the Italian Population

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
A validated HPLC‐FLD analytical method for the determination of aflatoxins, zearalenone, and ochratoxin A in cereals was applied to the analysis of 402 samples collected in Italy from 2013 to 2023 and to perform a risk assessment evaluation for the Italian population. Prevalence of contaminated samples was generally low and restricted to maize samples.

Who pays for PFAS contamination? A comparative analysis of environmental liability in the US and Sweden

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 240-253, April 2026.
Abstract Environmental liability systems worldwide face mounting challenges addressing contamination from persistent chemicals, particularly when contamination spans decades and involves activities that were legal when performed. This article examines how the US and Sweden allocate responsibility for contaminated site remediation through their distinct
