PFAS in Soil and Leachate from Textile Waste
topic
PFAS leachate characterisation from textile waste in landfill conditions uses accelerated leaching tests with defined pH and temperature conditions, collecting leachate from PFAS-treated fabric samples and quantifying dissolved PFAS by LC-MS/MS; sequential extraction of landfill soil samples identifies PFAS sorption to organic matter and mineral phases controlling the mobility and groundwater contamination risk.
Role
Quantifies the PFAS environmental release potential from textile waste in landfill disposal scenarios, providing data for environmental risk assessment of PFAS-treated textile disposal and for waste classification decisions governing whether PFAS-contaminated textile wastes require hazardous waste landfill management or whether standard municipal solid waste disposal is appropriate.
