Cover Story: Polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) are a threat to soil and groundwater and are persistent in the environment. Methods to mitigate this problem are urgently needed. Chitosan is a biopolymer made of the natural material chitin, which appears in mollusks, crustaceans, and insect cuticles. It was found that chitosan can effectively adsorb PFASs from water. Thus, sorption could clean wastewater or landfill leachates. For stabilization, chitosan needs to be crosslinked. The influence of the cross-linking agent epichlorohydrin (ECH) concentration on the perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) adsorption capacity of chitosan gel was investigated. View this paper
