31. UB Researchers To Study Why Replacement 'Forever Chemicals' Still Show Up In Fish 3/3/2026

    Fluorotelomers were introduced as safer versions of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), but recent studies suggest they may build up in fish much like the “forever chemicals” they replaced.

32. Study To Determine Most Effective PFAS Treatments For High-Risk Homes 3/2/2026

    Research to fill key knowledge gaps on the effectiveness of household water treatment systems for PFAS and other fluorinated organic compounds is under way under the direction of Assistant Professor Dr. Riley Mulhern of the University of Colorado Boulder.

33. New Way To Trap Toxic PFAS In Water 2/26/2026

    Contamination of ground, surface and drinking water by perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) affects millions of people worldwide.

34. New Technology Could Use Sunlight To Break Down 'Forever Chemicals' 2/26/2026

    An international team of scientists led by the University of Bath has developed a new catalyst – a substance that speeds up chemical reactions – that uses sunlight to break down so-called ‘forever chemicals’ prevalent in the environment and known to accumulate in the human body with unknown long-term health effects.

35. EPA Seeks Court‑Ordered Removal Of 4 PFAS Limits 2/23/2026
    The U.S. EPA is testing a new procedural strategy to remove four PFAS drinking‑water limits from ongoing litigation, asking the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to invalidate those limits on the grounds that the EPA itself committed a procedural misstep when issuing the 2024 PFAS rule.
36. EPA Expands Toxic Chemical Reporting, Strengthening Transparency On PFAS Pollution 2/23/2026

    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today finalized a rule adding sodium perfluorohexanesulfonate (PFHxS-Na) to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI).

37. Opinion: Why PFAS Policymakers Should Read Past The Abstract 2/12/2026
    When it comes to drinking water, sound public policy requires sound scientific research. Publication in a prestigious, peer-reviewed journal helps establish legitimacy for scientific claims in public discourse. But science is a social process, scientific standards of evidence vary across disciplines, and peer review does not guarantee validity. For readers who stop at the abstract, these distinctions can be easy to miss.
38. The 'Forever Chemical' Detective 2/9/2026

    They’re called “forever chemicals” for a reason. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are a group of synthetic compounds that don’t break down easily in the environment – or in our bodies.
