Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that have been the subject of several investigations worldwide due to their persistence and significant adverse health effects to humans and animals. In Florida, high PFAS levels have been detected in the ground water, surface water, soils and sediments near military bases, airports, and firefighting training facilities. Recently, a drinking water assessment conducted by the EWG has identified Miami, Florida as the U.S city with the third highest levels of PFAS among 44 locations assessed. This critical review presents a summary of the recent literature, databases, and investigations of PFAS contamination in Florida, focusing on PFAS occurrence, major sources and treatment methods. The major PFAS sources identified are divided into the usage of aqueous film forming foams (AFFF), landfills, and wastewater treatment plants. Despite the lack of comprehensive studies in Florida, toxicity concerns are also discussed. Major knowledge gaps and future research needs are considered.

聚和全氟烷基物质（PFAS）是普遍存在的环境污染物，由于其持久性以及对人和动物的严重不利健康影响，已成为全球范围内许多研究的主题。在佛罗里达州，在军事基地，机场和消防训练设施附近的地下水，地表水，土壤和沉积物中检测到较高的PFAS水平。最近，由EWG进行的饮用水评估已将佛罗里达州迈阿密确定为被评估的44个地点中PFAS水平第三高的美国城市。这篇重要的评论总结了佛罗里达州PFAS污染的最新文献，数据库和调查，重点是PFAS的发生，主要来源和治疗方法。确定的主要PFAS来源分为水成膜泡沫（AFFF），垃圾填埋场和废水处理厂的使用。尽管在佛罗里达州缺乏全面的研究，但也讨论了毒性问题。考虑了主要的知识差距和未来的研究需求。
