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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $465,181 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The grant funds the development of a low-cost microelectrode sensor array platform coupled with machine learning algorithms to detect per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. PFAS are a class of chemicals used in numerous consumer and industrial products that can...
The US Geological Survey, through its Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program (CFDA 15.805), awarded Purdue University $487,497 for its project titled "PFAS Precursor Bioaccumulation and Biotransformation in Agriculturally Impacted Wetland Food Webs." The project will study the in vivo transformation and ecological effects of polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) precursors in wetlands located in Indiana. Specifically, the researchers...
The Illinois Institute of Technology will receive $100,000 from the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development under the agency's P3 Award: National Student Design Competition for Sustainability program (CFDA 66.516) to develop technologies that mitigate risks from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in contaminated sediments. The two-year project grant will fund laboratory experiments examining the effectiveness of sediment caps containing sorbent amendments for...
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...
The University of Illinois has received a $500,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under CFDA No. 47.041 - Engineering. The goal of this 3-year grant is to design, evaluate, and optimize an integrated electrosorption and electrocatalytic process that can selectively extract and degrade short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from semiconductor manufacturing wastewater....
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) provides $558,345.00 to Purdue University to investigate the distribution, fate, and impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Lake Michigan ecosystem. The project will assess PFAS accumulation in tissues of various fish species through lab experiments and field sampling, as well as measure biochemical and transcriptomic...
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)...
This Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey, under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal program (CFDA 15.805), provides $500,000 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison from December 2022 through December 2025. The funding supports research to quantify per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) bioaccumulation and potential health impacts in economically important plants and animals associated with aquatic ecosystems in ceded territories of the Great Lakes...
