For example, it has been shown that some PFAS sorb to sediments (e.g., Schaefer et al. <span>2021</span>) and microplastics (e.g., Pramanik et al. <span>2020</span>; Cheng et al. <span>2021</span>; Scott et al. <span>2021</span>), exhibit self-assembly behavior (e.g., Dong et al. <span>2021</span>), and partition into non-aqueous phase liquids (e.g., McKenzie et al. <span>2016</span>; Van Glubt and Brusseau <span>2021</span>; Liao et al. <span>2022</span>). Further, while many PFAS are resistant to biological degradation processes, others can act as precursors and transform into other terminal PFAS (Harding-Marjanovic et al. <span>2015</span>; Mejia-Avendaño et al. <span>2016</span>; LaFond et al. 2023; Holly et al. <span>2024</span>). Recent research has highlighted that the behavior of PFAS in the unsaturated zone is particularly complex. One of the unique characteristics of many PFAS is their surfactant properties and affinity to air-water interfaces (e.g., Brusseau <span>2020</span>; Brusseau and Guo <span>2022</span>; Stults et al. <span>2022</span>). As a consequence, PFAS adsorption at air-water interfaces strongly influences PFAS leaching from shallow source areas (such as fire-training areas [FTAs] where aqueous film-forming foams [AFFF] were applied) through the vadose zone, and associated mass discharge to the saturated groundwater zone (Guo et al. <span>2020</span>; Schaefer et al. <span>2021</span>; Zeng et al. <span>2021</span>; Anderson et al. <span>2022</span>; Brusseau and Guo <span>2022</span>; Gnesda et al. <span>2022</span>; Schaefer et al. <span>2022</span>; Hort et al. <span>2024</span>; Stults et al. <span>2024</span>).</p><p>Most of the understanding of PFAS transport behavior has been developed through controlled laboratory experiments and modeling evaluations and as more field data become available, this knowledge must be validated by the observed behavior of these contaminants in real world systems. In some cases, recent field data have illuminated important remaining knowledge gaps, highlighting the need for further study. In particular, we are unaware of any field investigations specifically designed to better understand how these compounds behave within the groundwater table (GWT) fluctuation zone (roughly defined as the zone between the seasonal high and low water table elevations). Because some PFAS preferentially accumulate at the air-water interface, it is expected that changes in moisture content and air-water interfacial area as a consequence of groundwater elevation changes will result in dynamic PFAS storage and release in the GWT fluctuation zone. This, in turn, may drive complex temporal changes in groundwater PFAS concentrations measured in monitoring wells and influence l","PeriodicalId":55081,"journal":{"name":"Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation","volume":"44 4","pages":"11-20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gwmr.12694","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142596257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current tool, however, is limited to use in moderately permeable settings with a measurable K range of 0.03 to 25 m/d. In this work, we added a low-flow injection system to standard HPT and modified the field profiling procedure so that it could be used more effectively in lower-K settings. The modified lower-K HPT was tested and evaluated against direct-push slug tests at a field site in the Kansas River floodplain. Results indicated that when the injection rate was reduced, injection pressure decreased, which reduced the potential of injection-induced formation alteration. A particular challenge of applying HPT in lower-K zones is the large pressure generated by probe advancement; this can significantly affect the pressure signal measured at the injection screen. Our results showed that the impacts of advancement-generated pressure could be mitigated by reducing the speed of probe advancement. Compared to K estimates by slug tests, the vertical variability in HPT K was much lower. The reduced variability in HPT K was likely due to formation alteration during probe advancement, as well as pressure interference from injections at previous depths and probe advancement at the bottom. Additional work, such as the use of a smaller-diameter probe, is needed to further improve the performance of HPT in lower permeability zones.</p>","PeriodicalId":55081,"journal":{"name":"Ground Water Monitoring and Remediation","volume":"45 1","pages":"88-97"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142225049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
