Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in the Scheldt Estuary: Insights from target, suspect and non-target screening of water, sediment and bivalves

Further development of analytical methods for the monitoring of PFAS in environmental, food and human samples

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as a health hazard: Current state of knowledge and strategies in environmental settings across Asia and future perspectives

Research Gaps and Future Directions for Addressing Microplastics and PFAS: Impacts in Aquatic Environments

AI summary · Read the abstract

This review identifies critical knowledge gaps in understanding how microplastics and PFAS (forever chemicals) interact and cause harm in aquatic environments after more than seven decades of production. Addressing these gaps is urgent because both contaminants persist indefinitely, accumulate in living organisms, and are now detectable in virtually every aquatic environment on Earth.

Microplastic Contamination of Sediment and Water Column in the Seine River Estuary

AI summary · Read the abstract

Microplastic contamination is documented throughout the Seine River estuary in both water and sediments, with particle concentrations varying by tidal cycle and proximity to urban discharge points. Estuaries act as transitional accumulation zones where riverine microplastics concentrate before entering the marine environment, amplifying exposure for estuary-dwelling species.
