pfas-contamination
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of synthetic chemicals widely used in industrial and consumer products that persist in the environment due to their resistance to degradation. In plant science, PFAS contamination is a growing concern because these compounds can be taken up through roots from contaminated soil and water, accumulating in plant tissues and potentially disrupting physiological processes. Understanding how plants absorb, translocate, and respond to PFAS is critical for assessing food safety risks and developing phytoremediation strategies to clean contaminated environments.
