🚱 #PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance) are emitted from landfill gas. PFAS are part of many products such as children’s clothing, cosmetics and #wastewater treatment sludge solids, ending up in landfills.    📰 A recent study shows that high concentrations of PFAS, the "forever chemicals", are released from #landfill through gaseous emissions, which are usually released untreated unlike leachates that can be treated with, e.g. reverse osmosis.    💡 The authors recommend to work on removal practices or including measures to burn the vapors or trap them for #energy production to lower the #impact on the #environment.
