PFAS Project Lab

Studying the Social, Scientific, and Political Factors of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances to share with impacted communities and other stakeholders

PFAS Project Lab Data Tools Expanded and Analyzed to Identify Over 2,200 Known and 79,800 Presumptive PFAS Contamination Sites. Check out the update here: https://t.co/PpzzByJCVW

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

The stability of PFAS has resulted in wide environmental contamination and detectable concentrations in the blood of populations worldwide, raising concerns about their effect on health.

Preventing exposure remains the key strategy for safeguarding health

The U.S. military has eliminated older PFAS-laden firefighting foam from its bases in Japan and plans to remove all fluorinated foam from its installations by October of next year. (from @sethrobson1 & @HanaKusumoto) https://t.co/SFz2Xo1O0p

The levels of two globally restricted "forever chemicals" linked to health issues are showing a strong downwards trend in English rivers, but their understudied replacements are starting to fill the gap https://t.co/NrNrnvkcKw

Forever chemicals are renowned for their durability and their non-stick properties, but they persist for years in the environment. An alternative inspired by plants doesn't have the same problem https://t.co/hhJdUHv8gH

Ten years and $1.2 billion after the public learned of its “forever chemicals” contamination, Chemours sampling, data and quality control methods are still based on unsound science, NC regulators say.

Multinational company @3M reached a $7.35 billion settlement over #PFAS firefighting foam injury claims.

William Brown, 3M’s chairman and CEO, called the settlement “a significant milestone for 3M” that “substantially reduces litigation uncertainty.”

Continuing evidence on toxic #PFAS links to breast cancer. @SecKennedy: “Women deserve clear answers about how chemicals in their environment may affect their health”. We surely do, but you've done NOTHING about PFAS... NOOTTHHIINNNGGG.

According to a new study, US drinking water could contain double the #PFAS levels currently reported by regulators.

Here’s how scientists used computer modeling to reveal these findings.
