Investigation of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Adsorption onto the Medium Size Quartz Gravel Open
Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent chemicals that may pose risks to ecosystems and human health. Understanding the environmental fate and transport of PFAS is challenging due to their ability to migrate across air, w…

Microplastic polymer type impacts water infiltration and its own transport in soil Open
Microplastics (MPs) pose a substantial threat to humans and ecosystems. How MPs move in soils is controlled by a large number of coupled parameters, including MPs and soil properties as well as hydrological and geochemical conditions. We c…
