Awesome about headed to Madison. I have heard it is a great campus! Do you have anyone in particular you are planning on studying with! We should stay in touch!
Thanks,

Slow mixing of the ocean layers is hypothesized as the eventual ‘sink’ for PFAS along with, possibly, deep sediment burial. Both of these will take hundreds of years.
Some products advertise as ‘PFAS free’, but otherwise there is little way of knowing (that I know of) due to the lack of regulation on PFAS. Let me know if you find a way!

Work has been done tracing PFAS in the atmosphere, but their residency is highly dependent on the species and whether or not the PFAS is on an aerosol. I am unaware of any geographical pattern of sources and sinks, though there has been al lot work done in recent years identifying sources: . If I understand what cloud condensation nuclei are (and this is not my area), they are aerosols and therefore larger than PFAS molecules. PFAS are found in plants and it has been suggested that volatile PFAS are able to enter plants via transpiration, while nonvolatile PFAS generally enter through the roots.
