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 ...

Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Hand Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Objective To explore whether biologic levels of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS—reflecting the overall effect and accounting for correlations among PFAS—relate to incident hand osteoarthritis (HOA) and progression.

Dissolved Organic Matter and Pretreatment Effects on PFAS Removal by Granular Activated Carbon
ABSTRACT Granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption is commonly used to remove per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. In this study, we evaluated the impact of dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentration and pretreatment on GAC use rates for PFAS removal.

Measurement of the Higgs decay to electroweak bosons at low and intermediate CLIC energies
In this paper a simulation of measurements of the Higgs boson decay to electroweak bosons in $e^+e^-$ collisions at CLIC is presented. Higgs boson production and subsequent $H\rightarrow ZZ^\ast$ and $H\rightarrow WW^\ast$ decay processes were simulated ...
