Abstract Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), commonly known as ‘‘forever chemicals’’, are persistent organic pollutants that widely distributed in the environment. Due to their toxicity resistance degradation, PFASs classified emerging contaminants, increasing attention is being paid remediation. Biochar, an environmentally friendly cost-effective adsorbent, shows potential for remediating contamination. The application of biochar remediation has garnered growing interest. Compared other adsorbents, more economical raw materials its preparation readily available. However, there currently no comprehensive review summarizing effects on environmental behavior PFASs. This aims fill gap by providing in-depth discussion synthesis existing literature this area. It focuses PFASs, specifically addressing adsorption mechanisms factors influencing effectiveness A proposed mechanism which photodegrades through generation free radicals, addition conventional (such pore filling, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic interactions), explored. Furthermore, discusses ability reduce likelihood entering food chain water soil evaluates feasibility limitations using removal. Finally, we identify future research directions support safe effective use remediation, so promote advancement green technologies. Graphic
