Two articles on the Gelman Sciences contamination were recently published in the scientific journal Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health. These invited articles are part of a special journal issue on 1,4-dioxane.
One article provides the historical context for current concerns for human exposure and health from the Gelman Sciences contamination:

The other article describes a novel exposure pathway for 1,4-dioxane and potential cancer risk that could arise in homes with damp basements in contact with contaminated groundwater:
Novel Route for Potential Residential Exposure to 1,4-Dioxane Vapor

The authors are members of the Coalition for Action on Remediation of Dioxane (CARD), a partnership of citizens and government representatives working to coordinate responses to the Gelman Sciences 1,4-dioxane contamination.
The articles are accessible without charge from the journal until January 14, 2023 using the links above.
After January 14, 2023, access to the journal publications will be restricted by subscription. However, the articles will be publically available after the journal’s 12-month embargo period on the National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine PubMed Central website.
