Removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water by foam fractionation

Chemosphere, 2023
Treatment of large volumes of waters contaminated by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) remains a challenge. This work presented a systematic study on PFAS removal by foam fractionation (FF). Experiments were conducted on both laboratory-spiked and environmental water samples containing PFASs.

Indoor exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the childcare environment

Environmental Pollution, 2020
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used in stain-resistant carpets, rugs, and upholstery, as well as in waxes and cleaners, and are potential contaminants in the childcare environment. However, limited knowledge exists on the occurrence of PFAS in indoor environments, apart from residential homes.

Prevalence and Implications of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Settled Dust

Current Environmental Health Reports, 2021
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of more than 7,000 fluorinated compounds. The carbon-fluorine bond of PFAS provides desirable hydrophobic and oleophobic properties and stability that has led to widespread usage in consumer products and industrial applications.

Assessment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer food packaging

Chemosphere
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been detected in food and food contact materials (FCMs) worldwide, causing concerns for human exposure through diet. In this study, we have developed and validated a new method for analysis of 73 PFAS from 15 different classes in paper and plastic FCMs.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the marine environment: An overview and prospects

Marine Pollution Bulletin
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals known for their excellent persistence and surface activity. PFAS can be readily transported through waterways into the ocean, which serves as their primary global sink. This review summarizes recent studies on PFAS in the marine environment and outlines some key directions for future ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in sediment: a source of PFAS to the food web?

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management
Abstract Kent Lake is an impoundment of the Huron River in southeast lower Michigan. Fish collected from Kent Lake in 2017 had high concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in fillets, which resulted in a fish consumption advisory from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
