PFAS in stormwater control measures: Removal, distribution, and long-term fate
Science
18 Oct 2025 | Water Research
Stormwater systems such as ponds and filters are not designed to remove PFAS, so most PFAS pass through the system, build up in water and sediment over time, and can transform from precursors into more toxic terminal PFAS, making stormwater a growing and often hidden source of PFAS pollution in the environment.
