Municipal solid waste (MSW) is projected to rise 3.4 billion tonnes by 2050, with only 33% undergoing environmentally friendly management practices. Achieving a circular economy involves sustainable approaches, among which diverting from landfills composting plays crucial role. However, many of the products society uses and discards in MSW daily contain per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), raising concerns that composts may inadvertently introduce PFAS into environment, posing significant challenge environmental sustainability. have been detected compost at concentrations ranging between 1.26–11.84 µg/kg.

We evaluated the in situ occurrence and soil-water distribution of 75 anionic, zwitterionic, cationic per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) soils from five field experimental sites distributed different climatic regions France. Four received agronomical doses organic waste products (OWPs, ∼5-10 t/ha per application) with repeated inputs between 1974 1996 (2 historical sites) 1998-2018 on-going sites), while one site about two-fold larger amounts. Control without OWP application had detectable yet low PFAS levels, Σ75PFAS remaining most cases below 1 μg/kg. Soils amended municipal sludge or urban composts exhibited largest increase relative to controls (∼2-20 μg/kg), receiving biowaste displaying lowest (∼2 μg/kg). In cases, increased significantly time. While perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) typically dominated profiles sludge-amended soils, other prevalent classes varied years: older also anionic electrochemical fluorination-derived precursors (e.g., EtFOSAA PFOSAmS), prevalence short-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs) (3 phosphinates (1 site). Interestingly, 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonamidopropyl betaine (6:2 FTAB), a major zwitterionic precursor found French sludge, was only detected at levels indicating its transformation degradation products. Leaching waters depth 45 cm plots high PFCAs (Mean C3-C5: 120-160 ng/L; Max 900-1600 ng/L), suggesting that land applied containing PFCA are important contributors long-term groundwater contamination.

Abstract In response to the growing concern over PFAS contamination, employing models simulate behavior in environment becomes necessary. This facilitates evaluating risks tied leaching into groundwater, adsorption soil, plant uptake, entry food chain, and conversion of precursors persistent PFAS. We utilized MACRO model 6:2 diPAP 8:2 using data from a 2-year lysimeter experiment, key compound parameters were optimized via caRamel evolutionary algorithm. assumed that transformation both stable PFAAs is influenced by temperature soil moisture, similar pesticide degradation microorganisms. Results reveal accurately represents transformation, leaching, retention, uptake products. A comparison with lab-based column study supports slower natural precursors, affirming our modeling approach. Temperature moisture could indicate worst-case scenario for product groundwater occur during mild summer moderate evapotranspiration heavy rainfall. Plant involves multiple elements: availability root zone depends on prior or presence. Increased favors combined temperatures high enough biotransformation. The calculation moisture-based rates was adopted directly MACRO. It recommended further investigate these effects validate possibly modify them.

Passive samplers allow for time‐weighted average concentration monitoring ability detect low concentrations, which difficult measure with conventional grab sampling. This study demonstrates feasibility of deploying both ceramic dosimeters Sediment Bed Flux Meters (SBPFMs) assess time integrated PFAS concentrations fluxes, respectively, at historically contaminated near Baden‐Baden, Germany. Long‐term surface water samples resulted detection PFBA, PFPeA, PFHxA, PFHpA, PFOA, PFNA, PFDA, PFBS, PFHxS, PFOS total approximately 1 μg/L. Dosimeters were deployed 66 126 d, resulting detected ranging from 250 380 ng/L 120 460 ng/L, respectively. The d deployment whereas additionally PFUnDA, PFDoDA, PFTeDA, PFPeS, PFOS, PFNS, PFDS. SBPFMs PFUnA, PFTrDA, PFBS determination mass discharge 5.6 g/d into lake. Overall, more sensitive than detecting be used better understand spatial distribution system.

Abstract Soil microbiome changes and generation rates of per‐ polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) precursors were studied in a contaminated agricultural field using combination laboratory batch microcosm studies. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was used to track how microbial community composition changed over time, while perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAA) quantified incubations combined with the direct total oxidizable precursor (dTOP) assay. The study site Brilon‐Scharfenberg, North Rhine‐Westphalia, Germany, has PFAS contamination topsoil (0 30 cm) originating from compost. Generation rate constants these short‐chain PFAA estimated (0.12 0.75 1/year) higher but similar fields (0.05 0.22 1/year). Long‐term mass discharge data (2009 2023) suggest that at least 60 years are needed remove 99.99% their precursors. revealed major impact on biodiversity soil microorganisms, batch‐incubated soils showing richness diversity indexes than control soils. However, most impacts occurred lower taxonomical ranks did not seem have prominent overall structure autochtonous communities where produced accumulated. Overall, our findings demonstrate well‐controlled aerobic test results dTOP assay suitable approach for estimating rates. Additionally, research suggests complete removal will take decades.
