The impact of PFAS on the public health and safety of future food supply in Europe: Challenges and AI technologies solutions of environmental sustainability

European Journal of Sustainable Development Research, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9(2), P. em0288 - em0288

Published: April 23, 2025

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic pollutants extensively used in industrial consumer applications. Their accumulation European agricultural soils through discharges, biosolid applications, contaminated irrigation water poses an unprecedented threat to food security, soil health, quality. Despite extensive laboratory research, no full-scale, long-term validated PFAS remediation study exists, leaving critical gaps mitigation strategies. Existing approaches–including mobilization, immobilization, degradation techniques–have demonstrated effectiveness controlled environments but lack real-world validation dynamic settings. This proposes artificial intelligence (AI)-driven framework that integrates real-time detection tools, predictive modeling, adaptive technologies overcome these challenges. Unlike static strategies, the proposed AI-assisted system dynamically optimizes interventions based on contamination patterns, composition, environmental conditions. Machine learning algorithms statistical models enable precise tracking, migration automated decision-making, offering a scalable responsive solution for sustainable management. underscores urgent need large-scale, policy-backed field trials validate AI-driven technologies, bridging gap between scientific advancements implementation. By transitioning from theory adaptive, field-deployable framework, this research ensures solutions resilience, public health protection.
