A methodology for transport modelling of a contaminated site with perfluorooctane sulfonate due to climate interaction

Migration and remediation of typical contaminants in soil and groundwater: A state of art review

“…Occurrence and migration of PFASs in the environment are influenced not only by the physicochemical properties of the chemicals but also by environmental parameters. The migration of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in groundwater is very complex and disturbed by many factors, including the physicochemical properties (surface charge, organic matter, and minerals) and solution chemistry (ionic strength and cation type) of the aquifers medium (Lyu, Liu, Sun, et al, 2020; Mahinroosta et al, 2021). Among them, some studies have shown that the migration of fluoride in porous media is mainly influenced by electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, ligand exchange, and hydrophobic interactions (Lv et al, 2018; McKenzie et al, 2015).…”

Uptake and Distribution of Perfluoroalkyl Substances by Grafted Tomato Plants Cultivated in a Contaminated Site in Northern Italy

“…Owing to their chemical properties, PFAS are anthropogenic pollutants highly persistent and mobile in the environment, spreading worldwide due to their intense use in various industrial applications (EEA, 2023). Once released into the environment, PFAS result resistant to chemical and biological degradation, and their movement in the watershed is mainly driven by the surface and groundwater flows (Mahinroosta et al, 2021;Raschke et al, 2022).…”

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Presence, Pathways, and Cycling through Drinking Water and Wastewater Treatment

“…Ahmed et al (2020b) noted decreasing adsorption onto activated carbon as the carbon chain length increased in PFAS, although longer-chain PFAS have larger partition coefficient values than shorter-chained versions. Using numerical studies of PFOS transport within unsaturated soil, researchers have concluded that groundwater contamination could occur from decades to centuries after an initial surface spill (Mahinroosta et al 2021;Sánchez-Soberón et al 2020).…”
