ASSESSMENT OF EMERGENT CONTAMINANTS IN BIOSOLIDS

摘要

The water industry monitors potential risks from new compounds to ensure biosolids can be used sustainably. PFOS and PFOA (perfluorooctane sulphonate and perfluorooctanoic acid) have known or suspected health effects and have been detected at levels of concern in a number of communities around Australia. These compounds are two of the most well-known of the group known as per-and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS).
