🐮🥛Livestock can be exposed to PFAS through food and water. A URI STEEP Superfund study sheds light on how PFAS binds to proteins in cow’s milk at various temperatures. Results may inform ways to remove PFAS from milk, potentially reducing human exposure. doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

Study from Superfund @ Duke provides insight into how cadmium & PAHs may interact to affect neurobehavioral development in zebrafish. Results emphasize the need for detailed risk assessments of mixtures containing contaminants from different chemical classes doi.org/10.1016/j.ntt.…

🚰Researchers from UNC Superfund found that sampling methods and household representation are important considerations when estimating lead levels in private wells and subsequent public health risks doi.org/10.1088/1748-9…

Research from METALS_SRP suggests that microplastics alter the way uranium accumulates in soil, providing important information about how the pollutants move at co-contaminated sites doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

“When you talk to Indigenous folks about health, their focus is much broader than only physiological health. It’s about the health of their family, their community, & the natural world,” said Jamie Donatuto who works with Tribes in the NW OSU PAH Research niehs.nih.gov/research/suppo…

.LSUSRP researchers provided insight into how environmentally persistent free radicals, a group of emerging pollutants, form in the environment. doi.org/10.1021/acs.jp…

.Arizona SRP showed how cadmium & arsenic, metals that often occur in soils together, may interact inside the human body. Results could help inform health risk assessments or regulatory strategies for soils & dust contaminated with toxic metal mixtures doi.org/10.1016/j.jhaz…

A community-led study showed that a mitigation program significantly reduced arsenic exposure among Northern Great Plains American Indian communities. The program involved a:

📣📣 TODAY at 1pm ET SRP grant recipients from Johns Hopkins University, University of Minnesota, and University of Michigan will discuss training programs focused on emerging technologies and contaminants in the workplace. Join us! clu-in.org/conf/tio/SRPPI…

🌽🌽Can corn help clean-up contaminants in the environment? Research from Iowa Superfund suggests it can! The scientists developed a strategy that pairs bacteria and a material made from corn kernels to break down PCBs in aquatic ecosystems doi.org/10.1021/acs.es…

.URI STEEP Superfund showed that early life exposure to PFOS & a high fat diet altered behavior, gene expression, & neurological development in mice. Results suggest that this co-exposure may be a risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders like autism & ADHD doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoe…

Study from NC State University SRP and Texas A&M Superfund Research Center clarifies how different PFAS chemicals accumulate in the liver and alter liver lipid levels. Results provide insight into the mechanisms driving PFAS-induced liver damage doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…
