Phytoremediation prospects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances: A review

Environmental Research, 2022
Extensive use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in various industrial activities and daily-life products has made them ubiquitous contaminants in soil and water. PFAS-contaminated soil acts as a long-term source of pollution to the adjacent surface water bodies, groundwater, soil microorganisms, and soil invertebrates.

Review: Hydrothermal treatment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)

Chemosphere, 2022
PER: and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a concerning and unique class of environmentally persistent contaminants with biotoxic effects. Decades of PFAS discharge into water and soil resulted in PFAS bioaccumulation in plants, animals, and humans. PFAS are very stable, and their treatment has become a global environmental challenge.

Biota-Sediment Accumulation Factors for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2022
Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used in commercial products such textiles, firefighting foams, and surface coatings across the globe and some PFAS are known to be bioaccumulative in aquatic species. The ultimate sink for numerous anthropogenic chemicals is the sediments in lakes, rivers, and oceans.

Assessing Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Globally Sourced Food Packaging

Chemosphere, 2023
The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence and levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food packaging originating from different geographic locations. Food packaging samples were extracted and analyzed by targeted analysis with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) before and after a total oxidizable ...

Uptake and accumulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in plants

Chemosphere, 2020
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of persistent organic contaminants that are ubiquitous in the environment and have been found to be accumulated in agricultural products. Consumption of PFAS-contaminated agricultural products represents a feasible pathway for the trophic transfer of these toxic chemicals along food chains/webs ...

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: An Emerging Contaminant of Concern

Annual Review of Nursing Research, 2019
Concerns about the health impacts from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) continue to grow as the science continues to emerge associating this chemical family with a wide range of health impacts. PFAS exposure may affect growth, learning, and behavior of infants and older children, and also impact reproductive health, cardiovascular health, and

Reproductive toxicity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic fluorinated compounds known for their persistence in the environment and widespread presence in consumer products. Human exposure occurs through multiple routes, leading to bioaccumulation in various tissues and significant health concerns, particularly reproductive toxicity.

FPF Dossier: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)

2016
The dossier covers the chemistry, application, regulation, exposure, and health effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. PFASs are widely used as surfactants, polymers, coatings, and additives in food contact materials (FCMs) as well as in many other applications. They are applied in FCMs to improve e.g.
