Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) have been recognized as a significant source of PFAS release into the environment and for their accumulation into biosolids, particularly when industrial water releases are processed. In addition to removing nutrients and pathogens, many wastewater treatment plant ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic organofluoride compounds, widely used in industries since the 1950s for their hydrophobic properties. PFAS contamination of soil and water poses significant environmental and public health risks due to their persistence, chemical stability, and re...
