Effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) on microbial community structure and function at the Indian River Lagoon: Implications on sediment biochemical cycles

Institute: Florida
Year Established: 2023 Start Date: 2023-09-01 End Date: 2024-08-31
Total Federal Funds: $27,937 Total Non-Federal Funds: $11,768

Principal Investigators: Kathy Deliz

Project Summary: Critical knowledge gaps remain regarding ecosystem scale impacts of PFAS pollution. Suboptimal information on PFAS environmental transformation, transport and toxicity are hampering the development of management strategies and regulatory guidance to prevent PFAS hazard
