Development of a bioremediation system for the removal of PFAS from aquatic env...
Pinto, Ana Sofia; Neves, David M. B.; Maia, Tiago; Mucha, Ana Paula; Almeida, C. Marisa R.; Martins, Pedro; Lanceros-Mendez, SenetxuAmong the many pollutants that afflict aquatic ecosystems, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) stand out due to their distribution, environmental persistence and ecotoxicity. Currently, there are no suitable remediation technologies capable of mitigating PFAS-related pollution in these ecosystems. Yet, the combination of nanophotocatalysis (NPC) and bioremediation (BRMD) may prove useful in combating PFA...
Assembly of bacterial consortium for the biodegradation of PFAS and related sub...
Neves, David M. B.; Pinto, Ana Sofia; Mucha, Ana Paula; Almeida, C. Marisa R.; Alexandrino, Diogo A. M.; Carvalho, Maria F.; Alexandrino, DiogoPer- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made chemicals with wide application in consumer products since the 1950s. A recent revision of the PFAS definition has also introduced several polyfluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals into this class, further exacerbating the urgency of any PFAS-related pollution scenario. Their many favourable properties, including improved persistence and lipophilic...
