Concentrations and isomer profiles for 24 per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were monitored over 5 months (February–June, 2010) in municipal landfill leachate. These data used to assess the role of perfluoroalkyl acid (PFAA) precursor degradation on changes PFAA concentrations time. The influence total organic carbon, suspended solids, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), leachate flow rates, meteorological (precipitation, air temperature) PFAS was also investigated. Perfluoropentanoate...

Sewage sludge treatment and disposal are critical global issues, with concerns including volume/weight, release of pollutants, other environmental impacts. This study develops a semi-quantitative assessment methodology for selecting appropriate options on the basis lifecycle approach. Various biological, chemical, thermal, thermo-chemical methods described in literature reviewed evaluated holistically by adopting developed to determine their comparative effectiveness reducing volume/weight...

The role of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) in environmental cycling poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) through aqueous effluent, sludge air emission has been critically reviewed here. Understanding the WWTPs can provide better understanding global persistent PFASs assist formulating relevant policies. review suggests that WWTP effluent is a major source acids (PFAAs) surface water. Land application biosolids (treated sludge) shown preferential bioaccumulation short chain...
