Over the past several years, term PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) has grown to be emblematic of environmental contamination, garnering public, scientific, regulatory concern. are synthesized by two processes, direct fluorination (e.g., electrochemical fluorination) oligomerization fluorotelomerization). More than a megatonne is produced yearly, thousands wind up in end-use products. Atmospheric aqueous fugitive releases during manufacturing, use, disposal have resulted global distribution these compounds. Volatile facilitate long-range transport, commonly followed complex transformation schemes recalcitrant terminal PFAS, which do not degrade under conditions thus migrate through environment accumulate biota multiple pathways. Efforts remediate PFAS-contaminated matrices still their infancy, with much current research targeting drinking water.

Digitalization provides access to an integrated network of unexploited big data with potential benefits for society and the environment. The development smart systems connected internet things can generate unique opportunities strategically address challenges associated United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ensure equitable, environmentally sustainable, healthy society. This perspective describes that digitalization provide towards building sustainable future. Smart technologies are envisioned as game-changing tools, whereby their integration will benefit three essential elements food-water-energy nexus: (i) food production; (ii) clean safe potable water; (iii) green energy generation usage. It then discusses catalyze transition manufacturing practices enhance citizens' health wellbeing by providing digital care, particularly underserved communities. Finally, englobes a holistic view on how it contribute serious endangered planet biodiversity climate change.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of over 4700 heterogeneous compounds with amphipathic properties exceptional stability to chemical thermal degradation. The unique PFAS has been exploited for almost 60 years largely contributed their wide applicability vast range industrial, professional non-professional uses. However, increasing evidence indicate that these represent also serious concern both wildlife human health as result ubiquitous distribution, extreme persistence bioaccumulative potential. In light the adverse effects have already documented in biota populations or might occur absence prompt interventions, competent authorities matter environment protection, industries well scientists cooperating identify most appropriate regulatory measures, substitution plans remediation technologies mitigate impacts. this review, starting from chemistry, uses environmental fate, we summarize current knowledge on occurrence different media living organisms, particular emphasis humans. Also, describe present provisional legislative measures European Union framework strategy regulate manufacture, import use some promising treatment designed remediate contamination compartments.

Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), also known as “forever chemicals,” are manmade chemicals that have been increasingly detected in various geological settings since the early 2000s. The soil subsurface environments media commonly affected by PFAS. We conducted a comprehensive review of peer‐reviewed articles published from 2010 through 2022 concerning fate transport PFAS environments. This is organized into different subsections, covering basics properties how they affect occurrence, fate, PFAS, fundamental processes affecting mathematical models for describing predicting behaviors. Mechanisms governing environment, including sorption at air‐water interface, solid‐water nonaqueous phase liquids‐water were explored detail. Challenges future research priorities identified to better mitigate global challenges contamination.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)─so-called "forever chemicals"─contaminate the drinking water of about 100 million people in U.S. alone are inefficiently removed by standard treatment techniques. A key property these compounds that underlies their fate transport efficacy several promising remediation approaches is they accumulate at water–air interface. This phenomenon remains incompletely understood, particularly under conditions relevant to natural systems where interfaces often carry significant loads other organic contaminants or matter. To understand impact loading on PFAS adsorption, we carried out molecular dynamics simulations varying interfacial densities. We find adsorbed form strong mutual interactions (attraction between perfluoroalkyl chains electrostatic among charged head groups) give rise ordered coatings. These involve near-cancellation hydrophobic attraction Coulomb repulsion. Our findings explain an apparent paradox whereby adsorption isotherms suggest minimal while simultaneously displaying a high sensitivity composition density Consideration present with interface has potential allow for more accurate predictions design efficient approaches.
