Driving factor, source identification, and health risk of PFAS contamination in groundwater based on the self-organizing map

) might also affect the distribution pattern of PFAS. The potential human health risk in the area was minimal, with cluster Ⅱ presenting the highest risk (RQ value 0.25) which is closely related to PFOA emissions from fluoropolymer industry. This study provides a theoretical basis and data support for applying of SOM to the visualization and control of PFAS contamination in groundwater.
