Biodegradation of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Emerging Strategies for Sustainable Remediation

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.
