Extramural Paper of the Month: Sorbent Materials Decrease Movement and Toxicity of PFAS in Soil
Paper of the Month - June 2024
Texas A&M University SRP Center researchers evaluated the ability of six different sorbent materials, made up of activated carbon or specialized clays, to trap four PFAS chemicals in soil. They exposed worms and aquatic plants to soil or water to measure the bioavailability of PFAS and how changes in bioavailability translate to toxicity.
