Abstract

The presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in water environments has been linked to a slew of negative health effects in both animals and humans, but the green and eco-sustainable removal technologies remain largely unknown. Constructed wetland coupled microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) is termed a "green process" to control pollutants and recover energy. However, so far, no study has investigated the removal of PFASs and their effects on the performance of the CW-MFC systems. Here, we investigated the removal performance of PFOA and PFOS in the CW-MFC systems both in the absence and presence of electricity circuit, and explored the distribution and fate of PFASs and their interactions with other elements in the systems. Our findings demonstrated excellent removal…
