Overview

Review examines transport pathways and properties of PFAS, suggesting implications for environmental management.

Key Points

  • This review aims to investigate the behavior and transformations of PFAS in the environment, focusing on their transport pathways and physicochemical properties.
  • Conducted a comprehensive literature review on PFAS properties and environmental behavior.
  • Analyzed critical pathways for PFAS transport and accumulation.
  • PFAS demonstrated high persistence due to strong carbon-fluorine bonds, resisting degradation.
  • Identified key transport pathways for PFAS in various environmental matrices.
