Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as "forever chemicals" in recognition of their exceptional chemical stability, have been shown to be ubiquitous environmental contaminants, with a presence that spans the globe, from the remote Arctic regions to urban precipitation systems. PFAS in sludge pose huge environmental risks, with their migration and transformation critical for safe treatment. We seek novel research on the fate, degradation, mechanisms, and environmental impacts of PFAS in the sludge treatment process. Submissions must be original.

Topics include:

• PFAS analysis in sludge
• migration pathways of PFAS in sludge treatment
• novel PFAS treatment technologies
• PFAS transformation kinetics
• environmental fate modeling
• risk assessment

Keywords: PFAS, sludge treatment, migration, transformation, degradation, environmental risk
