					<description><![CDATA[In a groundbreaking study published in Science of The Total Environment, researchers from the University of Melbourne have uncovered for the first time that Australian marsupials, specifically urban possums, are contaminated with synthetic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as “forever chemicals.” These chemicals are notorious for their persistence in the environment and [&#8230;]]]></description>
