Special Topic Collection: Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) at the Interface of Biological and Environmental Systems
Biointerphases is soliciting articles, reviews, and tutorials for publication in a Special Topic Collection focusing on the interfacing of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and related compounds with biological and other environmental systems. The Special Topic Collection will include partitioning at biological and environmental interfaces, impacts or unique attributes and mitigation technologies of PFAS at biointerfaces and in the environment.
Topics will range from understanding the interaction of water molecules with hydrated surfaces, to the interactions of small molecules with cell surfaces and functional assemblies at biointerfaces:
- Advances in techniques and methods permitting quantitative evaluation, characterization, and sensing of PFAS at biological/environmental interfaces
- Reports regarding the unique physicochemical properties and impacts of PFAS on biological systems
- New findings on remediation, removal or destruction of PFAS on biological and environmental systems
- Comments and letters to the editor regarding the emerging issues in PFAS at the interfaces
- Critical review articles on recent developments of PFAS partitioning at the biological and environmental interfaces
- Tutorial reviews on PFAS analysis and handling methods as the pertain to biological/environmental interfaces
