Abstract

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of legacy and emerging contaminants containing at least one aliphatic perfluorocarbon moiety. They display rapid and extensive transport in the environment due to their generally high water-solubility and weak adsorption onto soil particles. Because of their widespread presence in the environment and known toxicity, PFAS has become a serious threat to the ecosystem and public health. Plants are an essential component of the ecosystem and their uptake and accumulation of PFAS affect the fate and transport of PFAS in the ecosystem and has strong implications for human health. It is therefore imperative to investigate the interactions of plants with PFAS. This review presents a detailed discussion on the mechanisms of the bioavailability and plant uptake of PFAS, and essential factors affecting these processes. The phytotoxic effects of PFAS at physiological, biochemical, and molecular level were also carefully reviewed. At the end, key research gaps were identified, and future research needs were proposed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
