PFAS in the Environment

The 1st Edition of PFAS in the Environment, written by Rao Surampalli and published by Wiley-Blackwell, delivers a detailed reference for environmental scientists, environmental professionals, and government agencies investigating per- and polyfluorinated alkanes. The volume evaluates the chemical and ecotoxicological properties of these synthetic substances to support structured environmental monitoring programs and standardized risk characterization.

Specific focus centers on the occurrence, distribution, fate, transport, and behavior of contaminants across diverse natural settings. Readers examine current and emerging detection methods alongside established and suspected health risks associated with chemical exposure, clarifying how these persistent compounds move through and interact with vulnerable ecological pathways.

Practical case studies highlight recent research findings and targeted remediation strategies developed for treating contaminated soil and water bodies. This 1st Edition equips researchers in human toxicology and environmental toxicology with documented technical insights for identifying and managing persistent chemical hazards.
