PFAS in the water supply: source water contamination
Water contamination with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a serious problem for water suppliers in many regions. Due to persistence of the substances and a complex distribution mechanism, PFAS can have an adverse impact on water quality. Reported toxicological and health effects, make i...

Water contamination with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a serious problem for water suppliers in many regions. Due to persistence of the substances and a complex distribution mechanism, PFAS can have an adverse impact on water quality. Reported toxicological and health effects, make it very important to minimise the of wildlife and human exposure to PFAS. The exposure path is, however, associated with the most vital resource as water.Mitigation of the PFAS contamination is an extensive challenge that requires a multidisciplinary investigation of the pollution nature and distribution mechanisms in the aquatic environment. Furthermore, since conventional drinking water treatment is insufficient in PFAS removal, development of the treatment alternative is necessary. Not least due to substantial number of contaminated water sources and an increasing worldwide demand on drinking water.Present thesis was built around investigation of the historical source water contamination and human exposure to PFAS at studied locations in Ronneby (primarily) and Luleå in Sweden.
