Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Canadian Municipal Wastewater Treatment Systems
This data set contains concentrations of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in wastewater Influent (INF), Effluent (EFF), Landfill Leachate (LCH), Biosolids (BIOS) and Sludge (SLG) sampled from various Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) and Landfills across Canada.
