Effects of Nitrogen Fertilizer Types on the Uptake and Translocation of PFAS and Metabolomic Activities of Hydroponically Cultivated Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)

Quoted values stay tied to the cited study. Empty sections are gaps.

Summary

Hydroponic lettuce in a growth chamber exposed to PFOA, PFOS, HFPO-DA and 6:2 Cl-PFESA with three nitrogen fertilizers; PFAS in shoots and roots (triple-quadrupole LC-MS/MS) plus metabolomics; ammonium sulfate raised HFPO-DA shoot uptake about 108%, KNO3 raised PFOS 267% and 6:2 Cl-PFESA 395%.
