Industrial Sources of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) to a Sewershed in Ontario, Canada

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023
Abstract Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous in the environment despite global regulatory action to reduce or restrict their use in industrial processes and products. Fourteen PFAS were analyzed in effluents from four sectors; electroplaters (3), laundry and carpet cleaners (2), landfill leachate (2), and circuit board ...
