Data on Mineral-Organic Interactions in PFAS Retention by AFFF Impacted Soil

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-02-10
Data were collected to develop a comprehensive, generalized approach to predict the retention of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) by a soil matrix as a function of PFAS molecular and soil physiochemical properties was developed. An AFFF with 34 major PFAS (12 anions and 22 zwitterions) was added to uncontaminated soil in one-dimensional saturated column experiments and PFAS mass retained was measured. PFAS mass retention was described using an exhaustive statistical approach to generate a poly-parameter quantitative structure-property relationship (ppQSPR). This dataset is not publicly accessible because: The senior author generated the data and has the data. At the time he was a graduate student at Oregon State University. It can be accessed through the following means: By contacting the senior author at: Thomas.Wanzek@Geosyntec.com. Format: Likely in excel spreadsheets. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Wanzek, T., J. Stults, M. Johnson, J. Field, and M. Kleber. Role of Mineral−Organic Interactions in PFAS Retention by AFFF-Impacted Soil. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY. American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, USA, 57(13): 5231-5242, (2023).
