Sammanfattning

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have emerged as major global environmental contaminants due to their persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity potential. PFAS pollution is growing in India, particularly in industrial regions with limited environmental monitoring. This critical review focuses on PFAS sources, environmental fate, and transport across key Indian states, emphasizing environmental and human health risks, including drinking water exposure. A predictive model was developed to assess PFAS contamination over 30 years (2024-2054), revealing a strong positive correlation (r = 0.95, p
