a Conceptional schematic of identification of PFAS hyperaccumulator, hyperaccumulation mechanism, and life cycle assessment (LCA) of phytoremediation in PFAS-contaminated soil (details in the text). NOR: non-hyperaccumulating O. rosea population; HOR: hyperaccumulating O. rosea population. b Concentrations of 18 PFAS classes in the root, stem, leaf and bark of the sampled plants near a fluorochemical facility (KP K. paniculata, MG M. glyptostroboides, CO C. officinarum, ZS Z. schneideriana, OR O. rosea, AC A. calamus, SC S. canadensis, EA E. annuus, BG_CO and BG_EA refer to plants sampled from background areas). The numbers above bar charts represent the types of PFAS detected. c Relative abundance of individual PFAS and PFAS classes in different parts of four woody plants. d Relative abundance of individual PFAS and PFAS classes in different parts of four herbaceous plants. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
