ABSTRACT Questions have recently been raised about the suitability of using porewater samples collected with suction lysimeters to estimate per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mass discharge in the vadose zone. Multiple lines of evidence were evaluated to determine if porewater samples collected during a data gaps investigation in the former ...

Tracing sources of cadmium in agricultural soils: a stable isotope approach [PDF]
Cadmium (Cd) is a biotoxic heavy metal, which is accumulated by plants and animals and thereby enters the human food chain (Gray et al. 2003). The application of phosphate fertilisers has also resulted in the long-term accumulation of Cd in agricultural ...

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: An Environmental Challenge
Abstract Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances are a group of synthetic aliphatic compounds containing one or more perfluoroalkyl moieties (CnF2n + 1-). Due to their unique surface-active properties and high chemical and thermal stability, they are used in various consumer products such as cosmetics, food packaging, furnishings, and textiles ...
