Researchers at Flinders University say they have developed an adsorbent material that removed more than 98% of short- and long-chain PFAS—including hard-to-capture short-chain variants—in laboratory flow-through tests using model tap water. The approach embeds nano-sized molecular cages into mesoporous silica and, in the experiments reported, could be regenerated while remaining effective over at least five reuse cycles.
Uppsalan kunta on antanut ruokasuosituksen tietyistä vesistöistä itse pyydetyn kalan syömiseen korkeiden PFAS-pitoisuuksien vuoksi. Ympäristö- ja terveyssuojelulautakunta suosittelee kulutuksen rajoittamista terveyden suojelemiseksi. Suositus perustuu vuosien 2023 ja 2025 näytteenottoihin.

The South Korean government established a joint task force with local industry officials on Wednesday to respond to the European Union's plan to phase out per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The EU plans to publish a draft opinion on PFAS restrictions later this month, aiming for universal adoption by 2027.
