This $1,600,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) aims to comprehensively understand PFAS uptake and bioaccumulation in plants, advance PFAS remediation strategies in biosolids/soil, minimize PFAS uptake by plants, and develop real-time monitoring tools for PFAS. The key activities include: (1) developing and assessing integrated PFAS remediation methods for biosolids to...
This Project Grant award, valued at $1,599,522.00 and funded by the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509), aims to enhance the understanding of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) uptake and accumulation in plants grown in subsurface tile-drained fields irrigated with rural sewage effluent. The project will also explore the physical and molecular mechanisms governing PFAS uptake and accumulation in plants grown in...
This $1,600,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program, with an award date of September 1, 2024, aims to test the hypothesis that proper engineering controls can allow the continued and beneficial use of biosolids on agricultural soil, producing PFAS-free products. The key activities include: (1) modeling PFAS solid-water coefficients and soil properties with and without powdered activated carbon, (2)...
This $1,600,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) will evaluate the bioavailability and transport of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in agricultural environments. The key activities include: Characterizing PFAS partitioning in plant cultivation and comparing with soil type and residual treatment, Evaluating PFAS uptake in fish through dietary sources, Measuring PFAS...
This $619,816 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) will fund research to explore the effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on biogeochemical cycling, fate, and transport in constructed wetlands. The key activities under this 3-year grant include: 1) identifying the impacts of biogeochemical processes on PFAS water treatment in wetland mesocosm experiments, 2) determining...
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)...
This $558,346 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) supports research at the University of Nebraska on the release, adsorption, and biotransformation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the water-sediment interface in agricultural watersheds. The key objectives are to: 1) measure the kinetics of PFAS release from decomposed biosolids and adsorption to sediments under anaerobic...
This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509), aims to equip farmers with integrated and scalable PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) mitigation strategies to reduce risks associated with producing forages, milk, and meat on PFAS-contaminated soil. The $1,599,998 award, with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will be used to: (1) identify PFAS...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $119,998 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to develop new sorbents that can stabilize per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in sewage sludge. Approximately 55% of the 7.2 million dry metric tons of sewage sludge (biosolids) produced annually in the U.S. is applied as soil amendments and fertilizers in agriculture and land restoration. However, the increasing detection of PFAS in...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509), provides $1,600,000 to Michigan State University to evaluate the fate, transport, and bioaccumulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on a crop-livestock farm that utilizes biosolid land application. The key goals are to: (1) examine PFAS distribution in relation to soil properties, (2) measure and rank PFAS accumulation...
