PFAS removal performance of novel technologies for treatment of firefighting water and groundwater
(Corresponding) Hjort M., Dalmijn J., Roest K., ter Laak T., Vaiopoulou E.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of widely used man-made organic chemical substances. PFAS have been used because of their particular physicochemical properties: most are stable at high temperatures, recalcitrant to chemical oxidation and biological degradation, and act as a...Read more
Destruction of Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in water by cold atmospheric plasma
Papalexopoulou K., Ronen A., (Corresponding) Aggelopoulos C.
Topic:
Advanced oxidation processes
Cold atmospheric plasma was investigated as for the remediation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) contaminated water. The destruction of the highly toxic PFOA is a challenging task since it is a persistent and bioaccumulative chemical causing pollution in waterbodies. In this study, plasma...Read more

A presumptive and interactive map of PFAS contamination in Greece: a tool for the identification of possible exposure sources
(Corresponding) Soubasakou G., Evrenoglou L., Cavoura O.
Topic:
Pollution control and contaminated sites
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are emerging global contaminants that can have adverse environmental and human health effects. In recent years regulatory authorities have focused on setting stricter environmental limits and implementing precautionary principles. The extent and severity...Read more
