Per- and polyfuoroalkyl substances (PFAS) belong to a group of synthetic chemicals that are also classified as emerging contaminants. These contaminants possess a highly persistent chemical nature due to strong C-F bonds and once released into the environment, they have the potential to accumulate environmental matrices including air, water, soil, and living organisms. Chemically, PFAS possess some unique characteristics such as recalcitrant, hydrophobic, oleophobic, and thermochemically stable due to this, these chemicals have diverse applications at domestic, industrial, and commercial levels, for example, surfactants, metal plating, aqueous films, paper, textile and a range of domestic products.
