Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of over 5,000 chemicals that can be found in a variety of consumer and industrial products such as nonstick cookware, water‐repellent and stain‐repellent formulations, fire‐fighting foams, pesticides, surfactants, etc. PFAS can be found in groundwater, surface water, soil, air, plants, animals and humans. These chemicals can have Read more about Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)[…]
Millions of kilograms of pesticides are used in both agricultural and aquatic ecosystems around the world to combat, control and eradicate nuisance species. Pesticides can enter aquatic ecosystems through direct or indirect pathways and persist for prolonged periods in the environment. Although pesticides are designed for specific purposes, they can have negative impacts on nontarget Read more about Pesticides[…]
Emerging contaminants, or contaminants of emerging concern, refers to different chemicals that can include pharmaceutical care products, household cleaning products, industrial products, agricultural products, surfactants and more. These chemicals can be consistently found throughout the environment including groundwater, surface water, drinking water, soil, and air. As emerging contaminants accumulate in the environment, they bioaccumulate in Read more about Emerging Contaminants[…]
