    Abstract Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are the subject of a growing body of research with the potential to positively impact public and ecological health. However, to effect positive change, findings must be communicated beyond the scientific community.
    Objective: We sought to (a) evaluate the relationships between communications strategy, media attention, and scholarly citations of PFAS research and (b) offer guidance for researchers and communications professionals who would like to publicize future work and increase its impact.
    Methods: We analyzed 273 peer-reviewed epidemiological studies on PFAS human health impacts with publication years 2018-2020, as collected by a pre-existing database. We investigated whether a press release was issued, open-access status, abstract and press release readability, timing of publication and press release distribution, journal impact factor, study type and sample size, statistical significance of finding(s), number of scholarly citations, and the Altmetric Attention Score (a measure of media attention).
    Discussion: Of papers reporting a statistically significant association with health harm, those with a press release received 20 times more media attention (as assessed by Altmetric scores) than those that did not. However, only 6.2% of all papers and 7.8% of significant papers issued one. Among papers with a press release, media attention was positively correlated with better abstract and press release readability and speed in issuing the press release. Scholarly citations were positively correlated with media attention, presence of a press release, and open-access status.
    Conclusion: Most papers with significant findings on PFAS are published without a press release and receive little or no media attention. This reduces the likelihood that important research is reaching the public and decisionmakers who can translate science into action. Issuing a press release and receiving media attention also appear to increase scholarly citations. We provide recommendations for authors to increase the reach and impact of future papers.

    Abstract Why the interest in dioxins, a group of structurally related chemicals which have a common mechanism of action, a common spectrum of biological responses and are environmentally and biologically persistent? A plethora of effects have been reported in people, wildlife, and domestic animals since chloracne was first described in 1899. Cattle, horses, sheep, and chickens have all been shown to be affected during poisoning episodes with polychlorinated byphenyls (PCBs). Fish, birds, and marine mammals have shown adverse outcomes, such as loss of reproduction and immune suppression, at environmental levels. And in the laboratory, species from all vertebrate classes have been used to study the biological effects from exposure to dioxins [1]. While chloracne is diagnostic of poisoning by dioxins, it is only associated with high levels of exposure. However, industrial accidents such as in Nitro, West Virginia, in 1949, Seveso, Italy in 1976, the polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) flame retardant poisoning in Michigan in 1973, and the Binghamton office building fire in 1981, all resulted in some chloracne. In addition, other human poisonings, such as that due to PCB/polychorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) contaminated rice oil in Japan in 1968 ("Yusho") and Taiwan in 1979 ("Yucheng"), demonstrated a wide range of toxic effects, both on those who ingested the contaminated oil and on their children born afterwards.
