Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are environmentally persistent pollutants, posing challenges for effective remediation. This study presented a machine learning (ML) framework to predict the first-order reaction rate constant (k) of PFAS de...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental pollutants with diverse structures. To further advance the impact assessment and remediation technology for PFAS pollution, new approaches for identifying emerging PFAS are neces...
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose a significant challenge due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and multi-system toxicity. Their impact on degenerative diseases, particularly osteoarthritis (OA), remains understudied, nec...
Traditional toxicity testing cannot keep pace with the rapid growth of synthetic chemicals, creating major data gaps that hinder the development of water quality criteria (WQC) for emerging contaminants. This study developed a machine learning model ...
Emerging contaminants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), nanoplastics, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), pose significant threats to water quality due to their persistence, toxicity, and resistance to conventional treatme...
Identifying unknown chemical pollutants is essential for effective risk management. However, current analytical techniques are restricted to structures covered by existing databases, capturing only the tip of the iceberg in the vast pollutant chemica...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are over 14 000 synthetic compounds with exceptional environmental persistence. Used extensively in industrial and consumer applications, PFAS resist degradation and accumulate in environmental media and liv...
Accurate identification of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) is essential for environmental regulation and public health protection. However, current analytical techniques struggle to differentiate PFASs due to their structural similarity. Herein, we...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), particularly trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), have emerged as global environmental pollutants due to their extreme persistence. Conventional treatment methods are largely ineffective, underscoring the need for ...
The objective of this study was to identify chemical constituents as markers of six per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) sources including aqueous film-forming foam-impacted groundwater, landfill leachate, biosolids leachate, municipal wastewate...
