Microbial and molecular approaches for PFAS transformation in soils: prospects and limitations

Key Points

This research aims to investigate the transformation of PFAS in soils using microbial and molecular techniques.
Overview of PFAS movement through air, soil, water, plants, and animals.
Discussion of sorption and leaching processes.
Analysis of bioaccumulation and food-web transfer mechanisms.
Highlights the contrasting behavior of long- and short-chain PFAS.
Identifies potential methods for PFAS transformation in soils.
Discusses the limitations associated with microbial and molecular approaches.

Abstract

Environmental fate and transport of PFAS: overview of PFAS movement through air, soil, water, plants, and biota, highlighting sorption, leaching, runoff, bioaccumulation, and food-web transfer, with contrasting behavior of long- and short-chain PFAS.
