Abstract:Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), a group of synthetic compounds associated
with adverse human health impacts, are commonly found in effluent
discharged from wastewater treatment facilities. When that effluent is
used for irrigation, the fate of PFAAs depends strongly on vadose zone
solute retention properties and loading history. The relative importance
of PFAA retention factors under natural conditions remains uncertain,
and the historical record of effluent PFAA concentrations is limited.
