The study "Evaluation of morpho-physiological traits and plant accumulation ability in Lemna minor L. treated with different perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) concentrations" has been submitted for publication in one of the next issues of the journal Science of the Total Environment.

The paper presents the results of the experimental test dedicated to the study of bioaccumulation and phytosanitary effects induced on the duckweed by the compound PFOA. The research is the result of the collaboration between IRSA-CNR and the Research Institute for Terrestrial Ecosystems (IRET), activity described in the LIFE PHOENIX Project Progress Report (section 5.4) of February 2019.
