"We found that certain species of human gut bacteria have a remarkably high capacity to soak up PFAS from their environment at a range of concentrations, and store these in clumps inside their cells.

The study came as a part of research that looks into how PFAS might interact with humans and cause health problems.

A new study finds evidence of a link between exposure to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — also known as ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health found that certain kinds of ...

Use of environmentally conscious menstrual products are on the rise. A new study finds that some contain exceedingly high levels of toxic chemicals from plastics.

Using a similar oral dose, mice were exposed to PFAS chemicals. Scientists found that within a few minutes of exposure to PFAS, the bacteria absorbed 25 to 74% of the chemical.

So-called “forever chemicals,” or PFAS, which can pose serious health risks, have been found in the Monocacy River in Frederick County.

Elevated levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals,” may be associated with metabolic disruptions potentially leading to type 2 diabetes.
