Those with higher levels of PFAS in their blood had 40% lower chance of conceiving within a year of trying

Research finds waste flushed down toilets and sent to sewage plants probably responsible for significant source of water pollution

Wereldwijd worden er hogere concentraties PFAS in regenwater aangetroffen dan Europese en Amerikaanse gezondheidsnormen toestaan. Dat besluit Zweeds onderzoek. Het toont aan hoe moeilijk de 'forever chemicals' uit de wereldwijde waterkringloop raken. De wetenschappers pleiten er daarom voor om het gebruik van PFAS zo snel mogelijk te verbieden waar mogelijk.

Le géant de la chimie ouvre les portes de son site italien pour montrer, entre autres, sa transition à propos des PFAS.

PFAS-tainted sewage sludge is used as fertilizer in fields and report finds that about 20m acres of cropland could be contaminated

UV filters absorbed by Posidonia oceanica may have damaging effects on ecosystems, scientists warn

There has been a 50-fold increase in the production of chemicals since 1950. This is projected to triple again by 2050

The Stockholm University study highlights the chemicals’ mobility, which has been found in penguin eggs and polar bears

A new study by Environmental Working Group scientists found almost 42,000 potential sources of toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS could be polluting surface water or drinking water in communities across the U.S. The scientists called for more testing and stricter PFAS regulations.
