Essential Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Our Society of the Future. [PDF]

Molecules
Per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are man-made compounds involved in compositions of many industrial processes and consumer products. The largest-volume man-made PFAS are made up of refrigerants and fluoropolymers. Major concerns for our society related to these substances are their contribution to global warming as greenhouse gasses and the ...

Managing and treating per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in membrane concentrates [PDF]

AWWA Water Science, 2021
AbstractPer‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are present in many waters, have detrimental impacts on human health and the environment. Reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) have shown excellent PFAS separation performance in water treatment; however, these membrane systems do not destroy PFAS but produce concentrated residual ...
