While research and regulatory attention to per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has increased exponentially in recent years, data are uneven incomplete about the scale, scope, severity of PFAS releases resulting contamination United States. This paper argues that absence high-quality testing data, can be presumed around three types facilities: (1) fluorinated aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) discharge sites, (2) certain industrial facilities, (3) sites related PFAS-containing waste. on all...

While the extent of environmental contamination by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has mobilized considerable efforts around globe in recent years, publicly available data on PFAS Europe were very limited. In an unprecedented experiment "expert-reviewed journalism" involving 29 journalists seven scientific advisers, a cross-border collaborative project, "Forever Pollution Project" (FPP), drew both methods investigative journalism techniques such as open-source intelligence (OSINT)...
Policymakers have become increasingly concerned regarding the widespread exposure and toxicity of per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). While concerns exist about unequal distribution PFAS contamination in drinking water, research is lacking.
To assess the US incarcerated population's risk of exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs).
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Systemic environmental health disparities exist for residents of U.S. Tribal lands including access to safe public drinking water and differences in quality as compared non-Tribal lands. Per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a leading emerging concern water. However, knowledge about PFAS contamination on is lacking, shortcoming research given the extent contamination. METHODS: We comprehensively identified existing testing programs, academic institutions federal...
