Sustainability Assessment of Alternative Methods for Destruction of Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Water

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants widely recognized for their resistance to degradation and potential adverse health effects. The treatment of PFAS‐contaminated aqueous media (e.g., drinking water, wastewater, and leachate) has been extensively studied in the published literature; however, the

PFAS Vadose Zone Mass Discharge at an AFFF‐Impacted Site: 1. Validation Based on a Multiple Lines‐of‐Evidence Approach

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT Questions have recently been raised about the suitability of using porewater samples collected with suction lysimeters to estimate per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mass discharge in the vadose zone. Multiple lines of evidence were evaluated to determine if porewater samples collected during a data gaps investigation in the former ...

Effects of Co-Existing Microplastics on Adsorption–Desorption Behavior of Perfluorooctanoic Acid in Soil: Co-Sorption and Mechanism Insight

Agronomy
Microplastics (MPs) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are ubiquitously present in agroecosystems, which can cause varying degrees of environmental damage. This study reports the investigation of the effect of MPs on PFOA adsorption by soil.

Perfluorooctanoic acid induces cardiac dysfunction in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), commonly found in drinking water, leads to widespread exposure through skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion, resulting in detectable levels of PFOA in the bloodstream.
