Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAs) are a family of highly persistent compounds which are present in the environment as a result of degradation of polyfluorinated precursors, from use as processing aids for production of fluoropolymers, and use in fire fighting foams. The purpose of this study was to ...
Unsustainable recycling practices release significant amounts of dioxins and heavy metals into the environment. Several studies have clearly demonstrated the negative impacts of inhaling VOCs and prolonged exposure, whether in residential or industrial settings. Exposure to such substances has been linked ...
Industrial sources of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to a sewershed in Ontario, Canada Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous in the environment despite global regulatory action to restrict their use in industrial processes... M Payne,S Kleywegt,CF Ng - 《Enviro...
Purpose of Review Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of > 4700 recalcitrant compounds, many of which are ubiquitous in the environment. This review aims to (1) identify PFAS sources and fate processes relevant to agricultural systems and (2) expand on plant uptake ...
Impact of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) on the marine environment: Raising awareness, challenges, legislation, and mitigation approaches... Per-and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) have long been known for their detrimental effects on the ecosystems and living organisms; howeve...

As with human health risk, environmental risks are still being assessed but the evidence is mounting that PFAS can be harmful to the environment. PFAS in drinking water continues to be an area of greatest concern. What Are the Benefits of PFAS? Because PFAS is an umbrella term that covers...
LCMS 207 - Quantitation of PFAS in Water by LC-HR-QTOF MS/MS This study showcases high-resolution mass spectrometry's effectiveness in directly analyzing and quantifying multiple PFAS compounds in water samples. The study identified concentrations exceeding current EU regulatory and proposed US EPA ...
A group of man-made chemicals known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), PFAS have been manufactured and used in a variety of indus
Known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down in the environment, PFAS are so toxic that in water they are measured in parts per trillion, equivalent to one drop in 20 Olympic-size swimming pools. The chemicals accumulate in the human body. ...
