Abstract:
Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) continue to receive significant attention as they are often detected in natural waters and biota. Notably, they were observed in coastal and open oceans as well as in marine organisms. Therefore, tracking their transport and fate becomes critical for understanding PFAS’s ecological impacts. This talk will focus on PFAS observed in natural waters, wildlife, and food matrices. The seminar will also highlight data from a five-year time series of PFAS observed in one of the most industrialized estuaries in the United States, Galveston Bay, TX.
