🔬 A new study from Hailey E. Hampson et al. published in Science of the Total Environment reveals that exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may impair kidney function, with the gut microbiome and metabolites playing a crucial role.
TO LISTEN 🔈- A good summary of the PFAS issue with this podcast: their history, the cover-ups, the environmental and public health impacts… Behind this “revolution” lies a complex and unsavoury history…
📍France Info has just published a map of PFAS contamination in 89 tap water samples taken in France. But the 20 molecules analyzed represent only the tip of the iceberg, a small fraction of the total number of existing compounds.
On June 13, 2024, The French Governement Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety - ANSES and the French National Research Agency (ANR) organized the second scientific meeting on endocrine disruptors, entitled “2nd national strategy on endocrine disruptors: assessment and outlook”.
In the context of ongoing PFAS crisis, CASC4DE proposes a quick NMR diagnosis to detect significant PFAS pollution by recognizing their distinctive NMR fingerprint.
This week multiple colorful maps have been published gathering and analysing available data on PFAS contamination. This has been initiated by a group of journalists interested in a cross-boarder project about:
Researchers from Stockholm University, ETH Zürich and RECETOX - Masaryk University Brno under supervision of Pr Ian Cousins and Pr.
Focus of the National Health Safety Agency - Anses on PFAS, synthetic perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl compounds used for their non-stick, heat-resistant and waterproof properties.
This Thursday evening on France 2 with ENVOYE SPECIAL, Elise Lucet’s team denounces a pollution of soils with perfluorinated substances, also called PFAS.
Research efforts on PFAS are needed to fully understand their impact and reduces PFAS risks to the public Exposure to per- and polyfluorialkyl substances (PFAS) has been evaluated for volunteer firefighters in New Jersey by Graber and coworkers.
