PFAS background ReleasePFAS mass LoadPFAS point SourcesPer- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)Wastewater treatment plantsWastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are known to be significant sources of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to the environment. In this study, PFAS were measured in ...
Screening and prioritizing chemicals with respect to the properties of persistence, mobility and toxicity implies that these properties are sufficient to result in their ability to reach drinking water sources and that there is an associated ‘hazard’ that PMT chemicals may eventually exceed a toxicolo...

Sewage treatment plants are considered as important pathways for the transfer of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to the environment. I
Literature sources were used to determine values for subsurface chemical parameters and for all contaminant transport parameters. Because of uncertainty in both the subsurface hydraulic and chemical conditions, and the transport characteristics of the selected contaminants, eight sensitivity scenarios were run...
PFAS, ubiquitous environmental contaminants notorious for their persistence in the ecosystem, have garnered attention for their potential to disrupt endocrine systems and provoke immune responses. We comprehensively examine the various sources of PFAS exposure, encompassing household items, wat...
Due to the widespread use of PFAS and low health‐based thresholds, a literature review and laboratory and field studies were conducted to assess several potential sources of bias in PFAS concentrations. Fluoropolymers are commonly present in equipment, products, and materials used during fie...
Portions of the ZCC extend into the Wolf Creek watershed, and the ZPC covers all streams within the Wolf Creek watershed (West Virginia American Water, 2016). Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefiles of potential contaminant sources were obtained from the West Virginia Bureau for Public ...
Hence, the entry of pharmaceuticals, benzotriazoles and PFAS into the environment should be generally prevented. To avoid high expenses for water treatment and being in line with the precautionary principle, reduction at the sources is prioritized. Nevertheless, a cost-effective combination of measures...
