This $1,600,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) aims to evaluate the fate, transport, and bioaccumulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in a crop-livestock farm that utilizes biosolid land application. The key activities include examining PFAS distribution and soil properties, measuring and ranking PFAS accumulation in crops, livestock forages, and livestock, elucidating PFAS...
This federal Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) provides $1,600,000.00 to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees) to comprehensively understand PFAS uptake and bioaccumulation in plants, advance PFAS remediation strategies in biosolids and soil, minimize PFAS uptake by plants, and develop real-time monitoring tools for PFAS contamination. The key activities under this grant include:...
This $1,599,998 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 equip farmers with integrated and scalable strategies to mitigate PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) contamination risks in forage crops, milk, and meat production. The key activities include: (1) identifying PFAS reduction methods to limit uptake in forage crops, (2) evaluating the effectiveness of livestock feed...
This $1,598,849 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) supports a research project to study per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) partitioning in wastewater treatment processes and mitigation strategies for PFAS in land-applied biosolids and agricultural soils. The lead awardee, the University of Utah, is collaborating with sub-awardees at the University of Albany, University of Illinois,...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) in the amount of $1,599,522 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 explore the physical and molecular mechanisms governing PFAS uptake and accumulation in plants grown in...
This $1,600,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) aims to test engineering controls that could enable the continued beneficial use of biosolids on agricultural soil while sustaining PFAS-free products. The key activities include: (1) modeling PFAS solid-water coefficients and soil properties with/without powdered activated carbon, (2) developing machine learning models for PFAS...
This $1,599,999 federal Project Grant, awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509), aims to understand the bioaccumulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in native plants and animals of cultural significance to tribal communities in Maine. The key activities funded under this award include: (1) quantifying PFAS uptake into soil and crops from contaminated irrigation water; (2) developing on-farm...
This $800,051 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) will support a research project at Temple University examining baseline PFAS levels and bioavailability in urban farming and gardening resources, such as soil, irrigation water, and edible crops. Key activities include quantifying PFAS impacts on crop uptake, sampling local water sources for PFAS, measuring PFAS in harvested crops and soils, and...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, CFDA 10.310, provides $649,372 to the Stroud Water Research Center Inc. to study the impact of biosolids-derived per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on water quality in agricultural ecosystems over a 3-year period from July 2024 to June 2027. The research aims to understand the temporal dynamics, transport, and transformation of PFAS in soils, rivers, and...
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...
