The concentrations are so small that chemists testing water for PFAS often have to remove their makeup because beauty products can contain enough PFAS to throw off a test’s accuracy.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced in February that PFAS can no longer be used in food packing, and the production of some of the most dangerous PFAS has been banned in the U.S. altogether.
A water sample is measured as part of a PFAS drinking water treatment experiment, Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2023, at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Center For Environmental Solutions and ...
The United States Environmental Protection Agency defines PFAS in the Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List 5 as substances that contain "at least one of the following three structures: R−CF 2 −CF(R')R", where both the −CF 2 − and −CF− moieties are saturated carbons, and none of the R groups can be hydrogen; R−CF 2 −O−CF 2 ...
The EPA’s National Primary Drinking Water Regulations set standards for six PFAS compounds, known as forever chemicals because the relatively heavy chemicals can remain in a person’s ...
One of twenty deer tested near Clark's Marsh was found to have a PFOS level of 547 parts per billion (ppb) taken from a muscle sample. It is unknown how PFAS could accumulate to the level seen in the deer found near Clark's Marsh. All deer except the one with elevated levels at Clark's Marsh were found to have no or very low levels of PFAS ...
Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) (conjugate base perfluorooctanesulfonate) is a chemical compound having an eight-carbon fluorocarbon chain and a sulfonic acid functional group, and thus it is a perfluorosulfonic acid and a perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS). It is an anthropogenic (man-made) fluorosurfactant, now regarded as a global pollutant.
In 2023, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated that 45% of America’s tap water contained one or more of the 32 specific PFAS compounds it tested for, including in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois ...
