    Author : Jonatan Forsberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Northern Sweden; PFAS; municipal WWTP; MBBR; GAC;

    Abstract : Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are known spreaders of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) into the environment. Luleå University of Technology is conducting a yearlong study in which PFAS concentrations in the different treatment steps are measured at Uddebo treatment plant. READ MORE

  3. 12. Impact of PFAS exposure on the fecal metabolome

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Lisa Johansson; [2022]
    Keywords : Gut metabolites; LC-qTOF-MS; PFAS;

    Abstract : The human gut microbiota plays a crucial role in human health and therefore imbalances in gut microbiota functioning can lead to the development of metabolic disorders. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites, bile acids (BA) and other metabolites are the essential compounds for the metabolome. READ MORE

  4. 13. Designing Mesoporous Test Sticks for Measuring PFAS Concentrations in Water

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Nanostrukturerade material

    Author : Amanda Hillås; [2022]
    Keywords : Mesoporous material; PFAS; PFOA; PFOS; Rose Bengal; adsorption;

    Abstract : Water contamination through substances called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a worldwide problem. Being able to measure the concentrations of PFAS in water is a first step towards beating this contamination. One alternative is to use a field test kit instead of extensive lab equipment to monitor the contaminated areas. READ MORE

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFASs) are a family of persistent organic pollutants in which the aliphatic carbon chains have been fluorinated, either completely or partially. One subclass of PFASs are perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), in which perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) and perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs) are two prominent groups. READ MORE
