except its perfluoroalkyl chain is much shorter (four carbons in PFBS vs eight carbons in PFOS). Due to this structural difference, PFBS is more water-soluble, making it less likely to bioaccumulate ...

Its experts collected soil samples several centimeters below the ground surface at three sites on the school premises on Aug. 15 to determine the presence of PFOS. The group announced the findings ...

NYSDEC noted that SCOs for PFOA and PFOS will be included in a separate rulemaking after it completes a rural background in soil study and reviews all available data. This suggested that the ...

He said his study included sediment sampling because contaminated sediment or soil could indicate long-term pollution exposure. PFOS levels found in Bakers Shaft sediment were 11,000 times the ...

The thousands of similar carbon fluorine compounds that together constitute PFAS can take centuries to break down in the environment, where the chemicals easily move through soil and water, according ...

Interested parties—including businesses raising crops or animals on agricultural and ranch lands potentially impacted by PFAS in groundwater; ...
