However, in September 2022, a health blog called Mamavation tested 39 different tooth floss products for fluorine, and found that 13 out of 39 products had indications of PFAS.

A study from Catholic University in Piacenza investigates the impact of forever chemicals that pose serious risks to both ...

Some of the metabolites left behind still contained fluorine, but after being exposed to PFOS for 194 days, F11 had even removed fluorine from three PFOS metabolites.

Researchers studied what kinds of PIDs form under different conditions. In oxygen-free environments, PFAS broke down into perfluoroalkyl radicals—molecules that are still rich in fluorine.

Researchers are adding to their list of consumer products that contain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a toxic class of fluorine compounds known as 'forever chemicals.' In a new study ...

New research from product investigation group Mamavation revealed that multiple varieties of soft contact lenses in the U.S. could contain toxic chemicals. An optometrist weighs in.

“I had always known that anything water, grease and stain resistant could have toxic PFAS chemicals in them because of my day job at the time,” said Choy, who was working in San Francisco’s ...

Nevertheless, pyrolysis of fluorinated plastic could form toxic fluorine-containing compounds, says Neil Tangri, science and policy director of the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives ...

Some of the metabolites left behind still contained fluorine, but after being exposed to PFOS for 194 days, F11 had even removed fluorine from three PFOS metabolites. “As a caveat, there could be ...

The results showed that combining GAC with moderate heat caused the PFAS to break down into simple, non-toxic forms of fluorine. Related Stories.
