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
Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): an emerging contaminant
(Corresponding) Toskos T., Panagiotakis I., Dermatas D.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
PFAS compounds are ubiquitous in the environment and in consumer products. Unlike other emergent contaminants this is a family of compounds with, literally, thousands of compounds. Our knowledge of toxicological and environmental fate and transport properties is an evolving field. On the other hand...Read more
Column experiments to investigate the fate of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in the subsurface during soil stabilization with colloidal activated carbon
(Corresponding) Niarchos G., B. Kleja D., Ahrens L., Fagerlund F.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Remediation of sites contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) is key to reduce the contamination of drinking water sources and subsequent human exposure. PFAS production and use is increasingly being restricted worldwide, however, legacy contamination plumes in soil and...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

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
