Fluorine mass balance exposes intrinsic PFAS and precursor content in geosynthetics used in landfill systems
Science
11 May 2026 | Environ. Pollut.
Geosynthetic landfill materials contain PFAS including ultra-short-chain compounds such as PFPrA and TFA, along with PFBS and fluorotelomer-related species, while over 80% of fluorinated content remains unidentified, indicating these materials may act as overlooked long-term PFAS sources and that conventional monitoring substantially underestimates total PFAS inventories.
