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 three-year, $299,987 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to stabilize per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in sewage sludge intended for land application. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York at the University at Albany will investigate transformations and distributions of PFAS precursors in model and real sludge samples, as well as soil-biosolids systems using soybeans, with the goal of...
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 Project Grant award of $619,816, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805), will fund research to explore the biogeochemical effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in constructed wetlands. The key objectives of the 3-year project are to: 1) identify the impacts of biogeochemical processes on PFAS water treatment in wetlands, 2) determine the implications of plant uptake 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...
This Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 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) in a Midwest crop-livestock farm that utilizes biosolid land application. The project aims to quantify PFAS precursor accumulation and develop protocols to screen and map PFAS accumulation in agricultural...
This $1,598,849 Project Grant award was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) to the University of Utah. The goal is to understand the sewage sludge treatment processes contributing to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) partitioning into biosolids, PFAS accumulation in agricultural soils, and potential mitigation strategies. Key activities include national sampling of wastewater treatment...
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 $558,203 federal 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 Purdue University to study the bioaccumulation and biotransformation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aquatic environments. Key project activities include: Integrating microfluidic sensors for rapid PFAS detection, field sampling of biofilms and macroinvertebrates, identifying factors influencing...
This Project Grant from the US Geological Survey, under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805), provides $469,361 to The Ohio State University Office of Sponsored Programs from January 2023 to January 2026. The funding will support field observations and numerical simulations to enhance understanding of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) deposition impacts on hydrologic systems in Ohio. Researchers will deploy air and plant samplers near...
