Perfluoroalkyl substances and sex hormones in postmenopausal women: NHANES 2013–2016

Study indicates that n-PFOA and PFHxS were positively associated with levels of several androgen indicators (which lead to higher risk of cardiometabolic diseases) in postmenopausal women, particularly among overweight/obese ones. February 3, 2021 | Environment International

Uptake and translocation of perfluoroalkyl acids by hydroponically grown lettuce and spinach exposed to spiked solution and treated wastewaters

Results showed that PFAAs in lettuce and spinach crop tissues increased at increasing PFAAs water values. February 2, 2021 | Science of the Total Environment

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in serum and associations with food consumption and use of personal care products in the Norwegian biomonitoring study from the EU project EuroMix

The participants in the EuroMix study were exposed to PFASs through their diet and PCP use. Several PFASs were found to be positively associated with fish consumption. Sunscreen, mouthwash, and lip gloss/lip balm were found to be positively associated with PFASs. January 30, 2021 | Environmental Research

The Price of Really Clean Water: Combining Nanofiltration with Granular Activated Carbon and Anion Exchange Resins for the Removal of Per- And Polyfluoralkyl Substances (PFASs) in Drinking Water Production

The results of this study provide both the scientific community as well as drinking water providers with important insights into the application of nanofiltration for PFAS removal during drinking water treatment as well as that mechanistic and economic aspects of nanofiltration treatment and the management of the resulting concentrate.
