New MSU study shows innovative machine learning techniques more accurately monitor PFAS in Michigan drinking water

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Newly published research from Michigan State University scientists demonstrates how regionally specific machine learning-based modeling more effectively monitors levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) chemicals in Michigan drinking water compared to nationwide models. Findings were published in the journal Water Research. The project was led by A. Pouyan Nejadhashemi, MSU Foundation Professor in the …

Center for PFAS Research positions MSU scientists as leaders in field

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Since the mid-20th century, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — a class of thousands of chemicals commonly known as PFAS — have been used in everyday items such as nonstick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, firefighting foams, and the packaging industry because they are resistant to grease, heat, oil and water. But many toxicological studies have …

Easier way to test for PFAS could help detect dangerous levels earlier

A recent study conducted by Michigan State University suggests that an improved method of self-collecting blood samples for testing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) could lead to early detection of health issues related to these “forever chemicals.” PFAS are persistent chemicals found in various products and environments, with detrimental effects on human health. The study …
