Advances in the removal of Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) from water using destructive and non-destructive methods

Elsevier, Green Analytical Chemistry, Volume 12, March 2025

Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent synthetic chemicals with strong carbon-fluorine (C-F) bonds, making them resistant to environmental degradation. Their widespread presence in groundwater, surface water, and drinking water, is a serious environmental threat. This artciles demonstrates the potential of novel adsorbents to achieve high PFAS removal rates while minimizing secondary contamination risks.
