Key Points

Biodegradation effectively addresses PFAS, reducing environmental risks and toxicity.
Key challenges include degradation resistance and bioaccumulation of PFAS in ecosystems.
Assessment identifies mechanisms vital to improving remediation strategies for PFAS contamination.
Implementing sustainable remediation techniques may mitigate long-term public health risks associated with PFAS.

Implication

Analysis reveals emerging strategies for biodegradation of PFAS, addressing environmental and public health risks.

Abstract

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly persistent synthetic chemicals that pose serious environmental and public health risks due to their resistance to degradation, bioaccumulative nature, and toxicity. Their widespread...
