Effect of chain length on the pyrolysis of perfluorocarboxylic acids

(Corresponding) Dixon L., Stockenhuber S., Weber N., Lucas J., Grimison C., Stockenhuber M., Mackie J., (Corresponding) Kennedy E.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) are increasingly becoming the contamination issue of our time, due to their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation and mounting evidence of their toxicity. Herein we examined the pyrolytic decomposition of a series of perfluorocarboxylic acids via the...Read more

Removal of PFAS from wastewater by bio-waste adsorbent: material characterization and adsorption kinetic study

(Corresponding) Bavasso I., Bracciale M., Sbardella F., Di Palma L., Marco S.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are considered emerging contaminants and have been increased their attention due to their distribution in water body. These compounds are acid and characterized by a thermal stability to make them resistant to degradation processes. Activities such as...Read more

Determination of 56 perfluoroalkyl acids and precursors in top predators and their prey from Northern Europe by LC-MS/MS

Androulakakis A., Alygizakis N., Gkotsis G., Nika M., Nikolopoulou V., Bizani E., Chadwick E., Cincinelli A., Claßen D., Danielsson S., Dekker R., Duke G., Glowacka N., Jansman H., Krone O., Martellini T., Movalli P., Persson S., Roos A., O'Rourk E., Siebert U., Treu G., van den Brink N., Walker L., Slobodnik J., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of emerging substances that have proved to be persistent and highly bioaccumulative. They are widely used in industrial and consumer applications and are known for their long-distance migration and toxicity. In this study, 65 recent specimens...Read more
