- This Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey, under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program (CFDA 15.805), provides $516,810 to the University of California Office of the President Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources to study the fate, transport and transformation of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in horizontal levees from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026. The researchers will monitor a suite of PFAS in an experimental...
- This $419,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) to investigate the bioaccumulation and uptake mechanisms of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as "forever chemicals," in edible crops such as radish, lettuce, and soybean. The project aims to understand how the physicochemical properties of various PFAS compounds...
- 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 $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)...
- 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...
