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 $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 $620,001 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 quantify the bioaccumulation and fate of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in photosynthetic organisms. The project aims to evaluate PFAS transport and fate in pure cyanobacteria cultures and mixed-community photosynthetic blooms, under both natural decay and engineered lytic conditions, to understand...
This $620,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) supports an interdisciplinary research project focused on understanding how daily environmental cycles impact the fate of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in surface waters. The project, conducted by Colorado State University in collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines, aims to: Identify PFAS presence, fate, and transport within the...
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 $500,000 project grant from the US Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program (CFDA 15.805) will fund a multi-year study at the University of New Hampshire investigating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in New Hampshire lake ecosystems. The study aims to determine concentrations and profiles of 40 PFAS compounds, including precursors and terminal compounds, in sediments, water, and benthic and pelagic organisms in...
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 U.S. Geological Survey, through its Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805), awarded a $689,106.64 project grant to Purdue University to investigate the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the microbiome of wild and farmed fish. The 2-year project aims to assess how PFAS exposure affects microbial diversity in fish, the ability of fish gut microbiomes to convert PFAS precursors into persistent compounds, and the broader economic...
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 $1,600,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) aims to comprehensively understand per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) uptake and bioaccumulation in plants across various nutrient conditions, advance strategies for PFAS remediation in biosolids and soil, minimize PFAS uptake by plants, and develop real-time monitoring tools for PFAS in biosolids, biosolids-amended soils, and...
