PFAS in Sludge and Soil: An Analysis Focused on Solid Matrices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are particularly persistent contaminants in the environment. Used in many industrial sectors for their non-stick, water-repellent, or heat-resistant properties, they can be found in water, wastewater treatment plant sludge, and soil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of sludge in agriculture is a particular cause for concern: the presence of PFAS in sludge can contribute to their transfer into the soil and various environmental compartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phytocontrol offers a method specifically designed to detect 52 PFAS in sludge and soil, enabling it to support relevant stakeholders in their monitoring and characterization efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Regulations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The circular dated April 27, 2026, establishes guidelines for testing for PFAS in sludge from wastewater treatment plants intended for agricultural use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It calls for a series of measures, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
