EPA Offers Few Answers in PFAS Disposal Guidance

On Dec. 18, 2020, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released its interim guidance on the destruction and disposal of PFAS, as directed by the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2020, and as part of the PFAS Action Plan the EPA released in February 2019. The interim guidance is not binding, and does not…

Household low pile carpet usage was associated with increased serum PFAS concentrations in 2005–2006

Study found significantly higher serum concentrations of PFAS in US residents residing in homes with low pile carpeting compared with those residing in homes with smooth surface in 2005-2006. February 4, 2021 | Environmental Research
