Accumulation of PFAS in wine from a contaminated area: Perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) as a molecular marker of PFAS groundwater contamination and implications of wine ingestion for human health
Science
3 Jun 2026 | Environ Pollut
PFAS-contaminated groundwater can transfer into wine, with PFBA serving as a key marker of contamination, making wine both a possible indicator of local PFAS pollution and a potential dietary exposure source in heavily impacted areas.
