Abstract
Bioaccumulation processes of contaminants are crucial for understanding their environmental fate and ecological health. In this chapter, we use per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as a case study to state the bioaccumulation of emerging contaminants in aquatic biota. PFAS produced for various commercial applications are of worldwide concern due to their ubiquitous presence, persistency, toxicity, and bioaccumulation potential. This book chapter summarized the current knowledge on PFAS's bioaccumulation (in freshwater and marine environment), factors impacting bioaccumulation, and future outlook. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
