Spatial Trends of Anionic, Zwitterionic, and Cationic PFASs at an AFFF-Impacted Site

Soil and groundwater from a firefighting foam impacted site were sampled at high resolution and analyzed for an extensive list of anionic, zwitterionic, and cationic PFAS. December 22, 2020 | Environmental, Science & Technology

Parallel study on removal efficiency of pharmaceuticals and PFASs in advanced water treatment processes: Ozonation, GAC adsorption, and RO processes

Chemically persistent PFASs were hardly removed by the ozonation process but were effectively removed by physical treatments such as GAC adsorption and RO membrane processes. December 20, 2020 | Environmental Engineering Research
