  4. EVALUATING THE CAPACITY OF ADSORBENTS TO BIND PERFLUOROOCTANESULFONIC ACID (PFOS) ACROSS SIMULATED RUMINAL, ABOMASAL, AND INTESTINAL CONDITIONS AND EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF PFOS RUMINAL RELEASE

EVALUATING THE CAPACITY OF ADSORBENTS TO BIND PERFLUOROOCTANESULFONIC ACID (PFOS) ACROSS SIMULATED RUMINAL, ABOMASAL, AND INTESTINAL CONDITIONS AND EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF PFOS RUMINAL RELEASE

Objective

1) Evaluate the relative efficacy of binders to sequester PFOS across simulated ruminal, abomasal, and intestinal conditions;2) Evaluate the effects of application rate on the capacity of a selected binder to sequester PFOS across simulated ruminal, abomasal, and intestinal conditions; and3) Evaluate the PFOS release kinetics and partition between rumen fluid and microbial mass from a PFAS-contaminated grass under simulated ruminal conditions.
