PFAS uptake by lettuce: Roles of PFAS properties, co-present organic acids, and nanoplastics

Quoted values stay tied to the cited study. Empty sections are gaps.

Summary

Controlled exposure of lettuce to three PFAS with polystyrene nanoplastics and/or humic, fulvic or oxalic acid; PFAS in shoots and roots by LC-MS/MS after 7 days; nanoplastics lowered and organic acids raised shoot PFAS.
