A growing body of scientific evidence raises concerns about the human health risks of neonicotinoid exposure, including neurotoxicity and reproductive toxicity.

The EPA said it was cutting Biden-era regulations on PFAS in drinking water, but advocates say the move will harm public health and benefit industry.

PFAS firefighting foam used for decades at Canadian airports has residents near Sault Ste. Marie’s airport fearing long-term contamination.

A new U.S. study links coastal microplastics to higher chronic disease rates, spotlighting pollution’s role in heart and metabolic health.

Critics say the structure of the deal provides a rich payout of $675 million in fees to the lawyers helping promote the deal, but paltry payments for the cancer sufferers who make up the class.

Protests over the production of cancer-linked PFAS chemicals have spread across India, after an investigation revealed that an Italian factory shut down due to an environmental scandal was bought by an Indian company and partly rebuilt.

The U.S. Air Force said it is pushing major cleanup at the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base back by five years, drawing sharp criticism from Oscoda advocates and members of Congress.

Since the Eaton Fire, Altadena residents have found hazardous substances such as lead and asbestos on their properties, fueling fear, conflict and a patchwork of emerging research.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said he will “make sure” that the “appropriate steps are taken” to tackle ‘forever chemical’ contamination at a former RAF base.

The state is leading the country’s reckoning with PFAS. The outcome of its suit against the federal government will affect how courts treat more than 15,000 other claims nationwide.

A landmark plastics bill puts the onus of recycling on manufacturers. Everybody — from industry hacks to environmentalists — hate it.

Plastics are everywhere, and evidence is accumulating that they can affect our mood and cognition. The solution may lie in the gut, not the brain, according to new research.

Researchers have found that wear and tear significantly increased the levels of PFAS found in hoods and gloves but decreased them in wildland gear.

The ‘forever chemicals’ previously linked to multiple health harms really are everywhere; they’ve now been detected in 98.8 percent of blood samples tested in a new US study.
