The rapid development of the economy has led to the discharge of wastewater due to the intensive activity of the textile and medical industries in Shijiazhuang. High levels of PFAAs were detected in the blood samples of Shijiazhuang citizens (Jin et al., 2020). Therefore, the presence of ...
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
In the past, cases of PCDD/F and PCB contamination exceeding limits in food from animal origin (eggs, meat or milk) were mainly caused by industrially produced feed. But in the last decade, exceedances of EU limit values were discovered more frequently f
while non-polymer PFAS refer to all others. Non-polymer PFAS are also made up of carbon chains, though these are usually only between three and 12 segments in length. Generally speaking, the shorter the chain, the more mobile and easily transferrable the PFAS...

Chemical signature of airborne particulates and deposition dusts is subject of study since decades. Usually, three complementary composition markers are in
then they might well run their dishwasher in the morning when the sun is up instead of when they go to bed. We'd eventually like to link our app with smart home devices so that people can program their appliances to automatically run when there are more renewables in use on the grid."...
The major PFAS sources identified are divided into the usage of aqueous film forming foams (AFFF), landfills, and wastewater treatment plants. Despite the lack of comprehensive studies in Florida, toxicity concerns are also discussed. Major knowledge gaps and future research needs are considered....
Wastewater 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 the influent of 76 municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) serving approximately 53% of the Australian population. ...
