Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the soil–plant system: Sorption, root uptake, and translocation

Environment International, 2021
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are ubiquitous in the environment but pose potential risks to ecosystems and human health. The soil–plant system plays an important role in the bioaccumulation of PFASs.

Effects and mechanisms of microplastic types on plant uptake of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances [PDF]

Eco-Environment & Health
Microplastics (MPs) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) frequently co-occur in agricultural soils. MP type–dependent interactions with soil and plants can modify PFASs environmental behavior, complicating assessments of PFAS-related ...
