New research shows PFAS acidity is shaped by subtle molecular features: small structural changes can make some compounds thousands of times less acidic, reshaping predictions of mobility, persistence, and environmental risk. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #pfas #bioremediation

PFAS monitoring in the River Mersey shows loads tell a different story than concentrations: the largest PFAS inputs came from sub-catchments with lower concentrations, and gadolinium tracing linked discharges to industry at 62% of sites. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #pfas

EU PFAS bans are coming, but what about the pollution already here? Bioremediation using microbes, fungi & plants offers a greener, cheaper fix, though speed and reliability still need work. sustainablefutures.linklaters.com/post/102l4do/r…

3D cancer models show PFHxA (a short-chain PFAS) may promote oncogenic behaviors via EMT & Hippo/YAP signaling, stronger than in 2D cultures. In vitro study only, but findings suggest PFHxA risks may be underestimated. More research needed! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #PFAS
