Abstract:Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) from aqueous
film forming
foams (AFFFs) can hinder bioremediation of co-contaminants such as
trichloroethene (TCE) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene
(BTEX). Anaerobic dechlorination can require bioaugmentation of Dehalococcoides, and for BTEX, oxygen is often sparged to
stimulate in situ aerobic biodegradation. We tested PFAS inhibition
to TCE and BTEX bioremediation by exposing an anaerobic TCE-dechlorinating
coculture, an aerobic BTEX-degrading enrichm… Show more
