Health and social concerns about living in three communities affected by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): A qualitative study in Australia

Cathy Banwell et al.

Summary: Residents in three regional Australian towns affected by PFAS exposure have expressed concerns about the potential health effects and socioeconomic impacts of the contamination, leading to stress and anxiety. Research should focus not only on the physical health effects of PFAS, but also on the immediate psychosocial impacts of living in affected communities.

Removal of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) by wetlands: Prospects on plants, microbes and the interplay

Muhammad Arslan et al.

Summary: PFASs are synthetic organofluorine aliphatic compounds extensively used since the 1940s, but they are non-biodegradable and extremely toxic to the environment. Recent studies have shown that wetlands can serve as a nature-based solution for PFASs removal through the plant-microbe interplay. Understanding the role of plants, microbes, and their interaction is crucial for designing an effective passive treatment wetland system.

Plant uptake and soil fractionation of five ether-PFAS in plant-soil systems

Weilan Zhang et al.

Summary: Our study found that Carex comosa plants absorbed and translocated five selected ether-PFAS to plant shoots, with exposure concentration and time positively affecting plant uptake. The five ether-PFAS had different distributions in soil, with water-soluble fraction increasing with decreasing carbon chain length and logKow values.

Using Constructed Floating Wetlands to Remove Nutrients from a Waste Stabilization Pond

Isaac Huth et al.

Summary: This study reports the biomass accumulation, plant nutrient concentration, and nutrient uptake rates of plants in a constructed floating wetland (CFW) installed for sewage treatment in Australia. The results indicate that different plant species in CFWs have varied nutrient uptake rates, and the use of carefully selected plant species can effectively remove significant amounts of nutrients from domestic wastewater.
