  Science

  27 May 2020 | Water Res.

  The results and methods presented in this study give drinking water providers valuable tools for the operation of a full-scale treatment train for the removal of PFAS in contaminated raw water.

• Organic contaminants sorbed to microplastics affect marine medaka fish early life stages development

  Science

  7 Apr 2020 | Marin. Poll. Bull.

• A Pilot Study of the Fluorinated Ingredient of Scotchgard Products and Their Levels in WWTP Sludge and Landfill Leachate from Sweden

  Science

  16 Mar 2020 | DiVA

  For both the sludge and leachate samples, the quantified levels of Pre-2002 and Post-2002 only contributed to a minor part of the extractable organofluorine.

• Determinants of serum concentrations of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in school children and the contribution of low-level PFAA-contaminated drinking water

  Science

  18 Feb 2020 | Environ Sci Process Impacts

  The drinking water variable was found to be 16% (PFOA) to 78% (PFHxS) of the variation in serum PFAA concentrations, suggesting that low-level-contaminated drinking water is a significant source of exposure for children in Sweden.
