PFAS concentrations can double with every step up the food chain
A new UNSW-led global meta-analysis shows that PFAS concentrations can double at every step up the food chain, leaving top predators—and humans—potentially exposed to higher chemical loads.

‘Forever chemical’ contamination could undermine sea otters’ fragile recovery in Canada
Sea otters living along the coastline of Canada’s British Columbia province carry residues of “forever chemicals” in their bodies, according to a new study,  and those living near dense human populations or shipping lanes are the most heavily impacted. The research was published in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, authored principally by scientists at […]

New Teflon Recycling Method Turns The “Forever Chemical” into Toothpaste  | Happy Eco News
Scientists from Newcastle University and the University of Birmingham developed a room-temperature Teflon recycling method that turns Teflon waste into sodium fluoride using mechanical shaking with sodium metal. The process breaks strong carbon-fluorine bonds without heat or solvents, producing pure sodium fluoride for toothpaste, water treatment, and pharmaceutical applications.
