When tested on their own and in mice, these bacterial strains from the human microbiome show promise in accumulating PFAS ...

A new study published in Nature Microbiology has reported a naturally occurring family of bacterial species in the human gut ...

A forever chemical known as TFA is accumulating in our environment, contaminating our rivers, food and even our wine.

Scientists believe they have found a way to protect people from a toxic and long-lasting "forever chemical". Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals which can be ...

The researchers also conducted chemical analysis for other kinds of PFAS chemicals aside from fluroelastomers - and found that all 22 contained at least some signs of one of the chemicals.

In the lab, the researchers dissolved each PFAS chemical in methanol. They then applied 500 nanograms per square centimeter of the chemicals to models made from lab-grown human epidermis cells for ...

A universal definition for PFAS would allow legislators to cover all their bases, restricting the use of PFAS as a collective chemical group and preventing the opportunistic use of new compounds. But ...

Bulky molecules mimic some properties of PFAS without their long-lasting chemical bonds and could replace PFAS in some water-repelling applications. Skip to content. Subscribe or renew today ...

Shortly afterward, Germany, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and Sweden set about developing a text that would affect the entire chemical "universe" of PFAS at once – over 10,000 substances.

PFAS is short for a mouthful of a name: perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. These chemicals were designed not to deteriorate naturally, and to remain grease-, stain- and water-resistant.

THERE’S BEEN AN onslaught of research over the past few years that has detected per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in pretty much everything. These so-called “forever chemicals” have ...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of nearly 15,000 chemicals with heat, grease, oil, water, and stain resistant properties. They may be found in consumer products ...
