- This Project Grant award of $620,000 was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) Program (CFDA 15.805) to Clemson University. The project aims to determine what portion of total organic fluorine (TOF) measured in U.S. surface waters is attributable to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) versus fluorine-containing pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Activities include measuring TOF, PFAS, and fluorinated chemicals in surface water samples...
- This $558,005 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) will fund a 3-year study on the occurrence, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in natural and constructed wetlands. The key objectives are to: 1) understand if PFAS concentrations increase through the wetland food chain and evaluate the ability of wetlands to remove these chemicals; 2)...
