Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how higher temperatures affect the leaching of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills, finding that elevated temperatures lead to increased concentrations of PFAS.
- PFAS leachate from elevated temperature landfills (ETLF) showed significantly higher levels of both PFAS precursors and terminal products compared to normal temperature landfill leachate.
- The research indicates that the PFAS profiles in landfill leachates differ from those in municipal wastewater, highlighting the complexity and variability of PFAS sources, necessitating further investigation to understand their impacts on waste treatment systems.
Fats, oils and greases (FOG) are the number one cause of sewer pipe blockage and have been mostly disposed of as a waste until recently. This study investigated a low cost and environmentally friendly approach to extract the lipid fraction (fatty acids and glycerides for biodiesel production) from sewer grease (SG), i.e.
