Enhanced removal of perfluorooctanoic acid with sequential photocatalysis and fungal treatment
Environmental science and pollution research international, 2023 In this paper, we report the degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which is a persistent contaminant in the environment that can severely impact human health, by exposing it to a photocatalyst, bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI), containing both Bi_4O_5I_2

Comparison between Chemical and Biological Degradation Processes for Perfluorooctanoic Acid
Soil Systems, 2023 Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a perfluoro compound that contains an eight-carbon perfluoroalkyl chain followed by a carboxylic acid function group. The C-F bound possesses a strong bond energy of approximately 485 kJ/mol, rendering PFOA thermally and ...

Multimedia fate and transport simulation of perfluorooctanoic acid/ perfluorooctanoate in an urbanizing area [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2018 Strong global demand leads to significant production of fluoropolymers (FP) in China which potentially release large quantities of perfluorooctanoic acid/perfluorooctanoate (collectively called PFOA/PFO) to the environment. Modelling the fate and transport of PFOA/PFO provides an important input for human health risk assessment. Considering the effects
