  1. 1. Modeling PFAS Transport in Groundwater - Exploring current approaches and evaluating parameter importance

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI); Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

    Author : Clara Eklund; [2023]
    Keywords : PFAS; Groundwater modeling; FEFLOW; Python; Machine learning; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : PFAS contamination in drinking water is a current problem, and new regulations for drinking water limits were recently implemented in each member country of the EU in January this year. Understanding the spread of PFAS in groundwater is therefore important to prevent it from reaching drinking water sources. READ MORE

  3. 2. PFAS Contamination in Groundwater; Evaluating Factors Influencing the Impact of PFAS Contamination on the Drinking Water Source in a Holistic Approach _________________________

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Anna Söderman; [2023]
    Keywords : PFAS; Contamination; Firefighting Foam; Groundwater; Drinking Water; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Aqueuous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) containing Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) is one of the major sources of groundwater contamination in Sweden. Groundwater contamination caused by the use of AFFF in correlation to fire training events was investigated in Kallinge, Sweden. READ MORE

  4. 3. Sorption of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkylated substances (PFASs) in the subsurface of an industrial site in Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Carl Sköld; [2019]
    Keywords : Sorption; soil-water partitioning; Kd; PFOS; PFOA; PFHxS; Sorption; fördelningskoefficient; Kd; PFOS; PFOA; PFHxS;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a group of emerging chemicals which havereceived increasing attention due to their toxicity, persistent properties, and global distribution.In this study, sorption coefficients (Kd and KOC) of PFASs in an industrial site in Sweden wereevaluated.

  5. 4. Effect of perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) on bovine early embryo development in vitro

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Jacklin Kjellgren; [2017]
    Keywords : bovine; embryo development; IVF; IVP; perfluorononanoic acid; PFNA; mitochondria; lipid; toxicity;

    Abstract : Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) is a large family of highly fluorinated chemicals, used in different commercial products (e.g. in clothing, shampoos, kitchenware and fire-fighting foams) utilizing their different properties, and have been found in wildlife, humans and in the environment.

  6. 5. Local pollution and the risks of OPFR, PBDE and PFAS to the marine ecosystem outside Longyearbyen and Barentsburg in Svalbard

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Anna Olsson; [2016]
    Keywords : Local pollution; Organophosphorus flame retardants; Polybrominated diphenyl ethers; Perfluorinated alkylated substances; Sediment; Arctic; Svalbard; Adventfjorden; Grønfjorden; Risk analysis; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Most of the ecotoxicological research conducted in the Arctic until today has focused on long range transport of pollutants, while fewer studies on local pollution have been published. The aim of this study was hence to investigate if local pollution of organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) occurs outside two settlements in Svalbard; Longyearbyen and Grønfjorden.
