Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are anthropogenic and persistent chemicals used as surfactants in many applications, including aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs, fire foams). Regular training exercises utilising AFFFs have led to the direct releases of PFASs into the environment and subs...
