New research reveals that tiny amounts of PFAS—widely known as "forever chemicals"—cross the placenta and breast milk to ...

So-called "forever chemicals" could be increasing Americans' risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, a new study says.

Like asbestos, PFAS were prized for industrial utility but are now linked to long-term, latent health risks. This complicates ...

Hazardous "forever chemicals" contaminate drinking water, soil and food worldwide. Who is responsible for their contamination ...

Fluorescent chemosensors are not the only novel approach being trialed for PFAS testing; other research groups have reported using novel optical fiber sensor networks to detect PFOA in aqueous samples ...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals, collectively known as PFAS, consist of more than 12,000 man-made chemical compounds that are "used in a broad array of consumer products," explains ...

Even if that factory completely stopped using the compounds today, traces of PFAS would still be found in the company’s products in 10 or 15 years if it continued to use the same production plant.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (known as PFAS) are long-lasting compounds that are showing up in soil, ground water, drinking water sources, even rainfall, and have been linked to cancer ...

While concern about PFAS compounds, also known as “forever chemicals” because they break down very slowly, has largely focused on people, the pollutants have also been detected in wildlife.

The prevalence of the various per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — compounds that are notoriously difficult to break down — in the water supply is causing global concern.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (known as PFAS) are long-lasting compounds that are showing up in soil, ground water, drinking water sources, even rainfall, and have been linked to cancer ...
