Seeking regulation of PFASs as a class

C&EN Global Enterprise, 2018
To address contamination of drinking water with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) across the country, U.S. lawmakers are urging EPA to regulate the chemicals as a class rather than controlling each individually. EPA has a precedent for controlling drinking water contaminants as a class, Peter C.

A review of emerging technologies for remediation of PFASs

Remediation Journal, 2018
AbstractThe need for remediation of poly‐ and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) is growing as a result of more regulatory attention to this new class of contaminants with diminishing water quality standards being promulgated, commonly in the parts per trillion range.

Unveiling the Truth of Interactions between Microplastics and Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in Wastewater Treatment Plants: Microplastics as a Carrier of PFASs and Beyond

Environmental Science & Technology
Microplastics (MPs) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are ubiquitous contaminants in environments, yet their co-occurrence and interactions remain insufficiently understood. In this study, we confirmed the concurrent presence of MPs and PFASs and their distinct distribution patterns in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) through a ...

Analysis of PFASs in Biological Tissues and Fluids

2015
In order to determine the toxicology and health effects on humans and wildlife of per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFASs), it is critical to develop rapid, accurate and sensitive methods for their analysis in biological tissues and fluids. In the past few years, extraction and analytical methods have been developed to allow their detection in very ...

Breaking the Carbon–Fluorine Stronghold: Reductive Defluorination of PFASs

Environmental Science & Technology
Per/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), characterized by their ultrastable C-F bonds and pervasive environmental persistence, present critical remediation challenges due to their recalcitrance and bioaccumulative potential. Conventional oxidative degradation methods predominantly yield bioaccumulative short-chain fluorinated derivatives, failing to ...
