Certain nitrogen compounds improved PFOA electrochemical degradation
Electrochemical degradation of PFOA enhanced by nitrogen-containing compounds with lone-pair electrons; mechanisms involve direct electron transfer and reactive nitrogen species generation.
White beach blobs were likely plant oil-based and nonhazardous
Forensic analysis of white blobs discovered on Newfoundland beaches reveals plant oil-based composition with polymeric materials; petroleum, biodiesel, silicone, and hazardous properties excluded.
DOM forms PFAS nanoclusters and reduces rice seedling toxicity
In situ AFM reveals DOM-induced PFAS nanoclustering reduces phytotoxicity through altered bioaccessibility, challenging molecular dispersal-based risk paradigms.
