About this Item

Methods and solutions to protect the environment against PFAS, in line with new regulations by US and EU authorities PFAS in the Environment comprehensively summarizes the chemical and ecotoxicological properties of different types of per- and polyfluorinated alkanes (PFAS) as well as current and emerging detection methods, known and suspected health risks, and removal technologies from water and soil. This book considers the recently enacted and much stricter regulations set by the US EPA and its European counterpart on the production and use of PFAS. A special focus is placed on how water treatment plants may be upgraded to reduce PFAS content in drinking water. In PFAS in the Environment, readers will find information on: Occurrence, distribution, fate/transport, and behavior of PFASClimate change threats posed by PFASCase studies detailing cutting-edge research and remediation of PFASGlobal regulations of PFASStrategies to phase out PFAS from industrial and consumer products and ultimately achieve a PFAS-free environment PFAS in the Environment serves as an excellent up-to-date resource on the subject for environmental scientists and professionals as well as government agencies and researchers in environmental and human toxicology.
