The proposal by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to ban over 12,000 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has sparked a debate about potential consequences for economy, industry, environment. Although some PFAS are known be harmful, blanket may lead significant problems in attempting replace PFAS-based materials environmental transition, as well medical devices everyday products. Alternative potentially less safe, rush would reduce time needed toxicological analyses. Studies have shown that exhibit diverse range of mechanisms action, biopersistence, bioaccumulation potential, should thus not treated single group. This is particularly true class fluoropolymers. A targeted approach considers specific risks benefits each chemical more effective. Moreover, proposed also unintended environment use associated with such reducing greenhouse-gas emissions improving energy efficiency. Policymakers must carefully weigh up before making final decision on ban.

Abstract Soil is a non-renewable resource, providing majority of the world’s food and fiber while serving as vital carbon reservoir. However, health soil faces global threats from human activities, particularly widespread contamination by industrial chemicals. Existing physical, chemical, biological remediation approaches encounter challenges in preserving structure function throughout process, well addressing complexities on regional scale. Viable solutions encompass monitoring simulating processes, with focus utilizing big data to bridge micro-scale macro-scale processes. Additionally, reducing pollutant emissions paramount due significant associated removing contaminants once they have entered soil, coupled high economic costs remediation. Further, it imperative implement advanced technologies, such monitored natural attenuation, embrace holistic management that involve regulatory frameworks, indicators, safety platforms. Safeguarding enduring resilience soils necessitates blend interdisciplinary research, technological innovation, collaborative initiatives.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) with varying chain lengths, headgroups, alternative structures are widespread persistent in soil, yet knowledge of their biological effects toxic mechanisms on soil microorganisms is limited. This study identified the structure-dependent impacts PFAS microbial fatty acid (FA) profiles by integrated field-laboratory investigations. The field investigation uncovered distinct PFAS-FA interaction patterns, fluorocarbon (FC) length functional group, FA hydrocarbon (HC) unsaturation degree. Specifically, long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs, FC7-17) increased medium/long-chain FAs (HC ≤ 17) monounsaturated (MUFAs), while sulfonic (PFSAs, FC6-8) enhanced longer-chain > MUFAs. Additionally, perfluoroether (PFECAs) as well short-chain PFCAs (FC < 7) PFSAs 6), which commonly used alternatives to PFCAs/PFSAs, were associated polyunsaturated (PUFAs). laboratory Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 validated these metabolic disruptions revealed broader perturbations phospholipids, acetyl-CoA, secondary metabolite metabolisms, providing insights into dysregulated membrane synthesis, C/N bacteria quorum sensing (QS) processes. These findings reveal novel PFASs microorganisms, highlighting potential biomarkers for assessing toxicity health.
