Uptake and translocation of perfluoroalkyl acids by hydroponically grown lettuce and spinach exposed to spiked solution and treated wastewaters

Perfluoroalkylated acids (PFAAs) are ubiquitous xenobiotic substances characterized by high persistence, bioaccumulation potential and toxicity, which have attracted global attention due to their widespread presence in both water and biota. In this study, the main objective was to assess PFAAs up…
