PFAS competitive uptake in food crops. A greenhouse-based research trial will assess where in the plant PFAS (short and long chain) accumulate in tomatoes and lettuce. Intercropping distance will vary to determine whether companion planting can minimize PFAS accumulation in edible portions of crops. Project PI(s): Alex Scearce (MS student) working with Rachel Schattman
