Duke researchers published the first evidence that genetic variation contributes to susceptibility to the harmful effects of PFAS, synthetic chemicals widely used in consumer goods.

So-called “forever chemicals” show up everywhere: in drinking water, food and clothing – causing a range of health issues. Lee Ferguson is at the forefront of efforts to keep these pollutants out of state drinking water.

A trove of lithium-rich brine exists underground in Bolivia. Researchers conducted the first comprehensive chemical analysis of wastewater associated with mining the resource.

Duke study reveals low levels of common contaminants but high levels of other elements in waters associated with an abandoned lithium mine.

Kidney disease is typically linked to conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, which gradually wear down the kidneys’ delicate systems that keep the body in balance. But the communities that 91�������� researchers Nishad Jayasundara , PhD, and nephrologist Anna Strasma , MD, study are facing a different problem.

Gulf War Illness (GWI), which affects approximately 250,000 U.S. veterans, has been found to significantly reduce the ability of white blood cells to make energy and creates a measurable biochemical difference in veterans who have the disease. The finding comes from a physician who noticed GWI symptoms paralleled those of mitochondrial diseases. Analysis revealed significantly lower levels of extracellular acidification and oxygen consumption in the white blood cells of veterans with GWI.

Nishad Jayasundara recently presented “Climate Change and Pollution: Challenges, Opportunities, and the Ticking Clock for Kidneys,” discussing environmental change and kidney health.
