PFAS-induced morpho-physiological, photosynthetic and tissue accumulation responses of pot-grown hemp, sunflower and maize under soil amendment with humic acids. (2026)

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) are persistent per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) of environmental concern that can interfere with plant growth and physiological processes. This study evaluated the morpho-physiological response and PFAS accumulation in
