🔬 Recent studies have highlighted concerning levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often called “forever chemicals,” in water supplies across Europe.
📊Pollution Among Top Global Threats Pollution is now ranked as the tenth most pressing global threat according to the 2024 Global Risks Report by the World Economic Forum.
A groundbreaking study published on October 17, 2024 and led by research teams from the University of Birmingham and Shenzhen University, under the direction of Stuart Harrad and Yi Zhen, has revealed alarming levels of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), often called “forever chemicals,” in bottled and tap water worldwide.
🔬 A new study from Hailey E. Hampson et al. published in Science of the Total Environment reveals that exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may impair kidney function, with the gut microbiome and metabolites playing a crucial role.

This year, figures in the development of AI, such as John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton in Physics, as well as Demis Hassabis, John Jumper, and David Baker in Chemistry, are celebrated for their outstanding contributions.
TO LISTEN 🔈- A good summary of the PFAS issue with this podcast: their history, the cover-ups, the environmental and public health impacts… Behind this “revolution” lies a complex and unsavoury history…
📍France Info has just published a map of PFAS contamination in 89 tap water samples taken in France. But the 20 molecules analyzed represent only the tip of the iceberg, a small fraction of the total number of existing compounds.
In the context of ongoing PFAS crisis, CASC4DE proposes a quick NMR diagnosis to detect significant PFAS pollution by recognizing their distinctive NMR fingerprint.
This week multiple colorful maps have been published gathering and analysing available data on PFAS contamination. This has been initiated by a group of journalists interested in a cross-boarder project about:
