Unification of surface tension isotherms of PFOA or GenX salts in electrolyte solutions by mean ionic activity

The surface tension isotherms of soluble salts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in electrolyte solutions are typically reported as functions of the PFAS concentration. However, for univalent salts and electrolytes, the Langmuir-Szyszkowski equation is a function of the mean ionic activity a*. Using previously reported data, we show that for salts of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (GenX™), use of a* rather than concentration provides a unified surface tension isotherm, independent of the electrolyte concentration. This suggests that the electrolyte dependence of the isotherm arises purely from its effect on PFAS activity, rather than an intrinsic surface property. This finding has important implications for the understanding of PFAS retention in saline unsaturated soils, and for PFAS extraction from saline waters by foam fractionation

Predictors of UK postgraduate researcher attendance behaviours and mental health-related attrition intention.

High rates of postgraduate researchers (PGRs) terminate their studies early. This attrition can have detrimental personal consequences, and results in a loss of productivity, and research and innovation for the higher education sector and society as a whole. PGRs are vulnerable to the experience of mental health problems; a factor that appears to be increasing attrition amongst students in the UK. However, investigation of the determinants of problems with PGRs' attendance and influencing intention to discontinue their studies is rare. Here, we consider the relative predictive validity of a set of putative predictors (mental health symptoms, demographic, occupational, psychological, social, and relational) of attendance behaviours (absenteeism, presenteeism, mental health-related intermission) and early attrition intention amongst UK PGRs. Depression, anxiety, and suicidality predicted attendance behaviours and greater attrition intention. Individual demographic and occupational factors predicted all outcomes. Psychological, social and relational factors had less predictive validity, although individual variables in these conceptual clusters did significantly predict some outcomes. Our results suggest that interventions to reduce high rates of mental health problems are likely to improve attendance behaviours, and reduce the extent to which PGRs intermit or consider ending their PhD studies for mental health-related reasons. Initiatives designed to improve supervisory relationships and reduce loneliness may also reduce absenteeism, intermission and attrition intention. [Abstract copyright: © The Author(s) 2022.
