The research, conducted by the University of Wisconsin - Madison, will sample blood from bald eagle nestlings, tissue from game fish, and water in the Wisconsin and St. Croix River systems to analyze PFAS contamination...
The University of Florida, Division of Sponsored Research, was awarded a $555,199 project grant from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) to conduct a 3-year study on the fate, trophic uptake, and toxicity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida. The key objectives are to: (1) characterize the seasonal diversity and concentration of 90 PFAS in water, sediment, and seagrass; (2)...

This Project Grant award of $622,873, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Water Resources Research Act Program (CFDA 15.805), will fund research on the bioaccumulation and reproductive effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in largemouth bass exposed to PFAS-contaminated agricultural biosolids.

The key project activities include conducting an observational field study to characterize PFAS profiles in fish tissues across multiple ponds, and a manipulative field experiment to determine how PFAS exposure impacts bass reproduction and underlying molecular mechanisms. The researchers will develop biomarkers of PFAS exposure and reproductive effects for this important gamefish. Deliverables include at least two publications, presentations at scientific meetings, a project website, a webinar, and stakeholder-focused fact sheets and infographics. The research aims to provide insights relevant to ecotoxicologists, risk assessors, natural resource managers, and the general public.
