Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are an emerging class of persistent organic pollutants. Although their thermal/chemical stability and water/stain repellence enable their widespread use in various products, such as personal care products, food packaging and firefighting foams, these properties also make them particularly resistant to degradation. This unwelcome persistence, with their trace concentrations, environmental prevalence, bioaccumulation and probable toxicities, poses a potential threat to environmental and human health. As such, much work is directed to finding ways to efficiently abate PFAS in the environment.
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Treatment Technologies provides a thorough review of the current state of research in treatment technologies for removing PFAS from the environment, particularly water. Beginning with a brief introduction to PFAS challenges and research needs, it covers established and promising technologies for PFAS removal from drinking water, wastewater, and groundwater. This is a great book for environmental engineers, environmental chemists, and industrialists interested in pollution remediation.
Yang Deng, PhD, PE, is the University Distinguished Scholar and Professor of Environmental Engineering at Montclair State University. He earned his PhD in Civil Engineering (Environment Discipline) at the University of Miami (Coral Gables, Florida). His research is focused on environmental systems and processes with an emphasis on advanced technologies and inventive engineering designs to address water pollution challenges. In recognition of his research, Dr. Deng received several awards, such as 2022 Project Innovation Award of the International Water Association and 2019 Superior Achievement Award from the American Academy of Environmental Engineers & Scientists.
Qingguo (Jack) Huang, PhD, is a professor at the University of Georgia, Griffin Campus. He earned his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2003. His research interests involve the application of catalysis in water and wastewater treatment, resource reuse, and agro-ecological management. He has published over 170 peer-reviewed articles and has five patents awarded. Recently, Dr. Huang has led multiple research projects on the development of technologies to remediate PFAS in water and soil.
