Researchers at the University of Toronto, Indiana University and University of Notre Dame have detected levels of toxic PFAS chemicals—short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances—for the first time in Canadian fast-food packaging, specifically water-and-grease repellent paper alternatives to plastic. Published today in Environmental Science and Technology Letters, the findings suggest that food packaging exposes people directly to PFAS, which have been linked to serious health effects such...

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, are leaching out of plastic containers and contaminating the food products they contain.

New research published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology Letters reveals in-depth how deadly per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, are leaching out of plastic containers and contaminating the food products they contain. Confirming what earlier research also found, the study focused on the tendency of PFAS to contaminate various pesticide products […]

Three years after the first cases of COVID-19 emerged, scientists have a far better understanding of how it spreads, how to prevent infection and minimize symptoms, and what needs to be done to prevent the next pandemic.

Researchers demonstrate the first measurement of the ability of PFAS to leach from containers into food as well as the effect of temperature on the leaching process.

The University of Notre Dame scientists are expanding their list of consumer products containing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a toxic class of fluorine compounds called “forever chemicals.”
