A researcher has discovered a new method to remove so-called 'forever chemicals' from our drinking water by heating the PFAS with granular activated carbon. The discovery represents a significant ...

A new study analyzes a bacterium that has developed a “taste” for PFAS, and is capable of breaking down a highly persistent ...

Pitcher, faucet, and fridge carbon filters are more accessible and cheaper than the other two options, but reverse osmosis ...

When PFAS were developed, companies found a huge number of ways to apply them to different products. But while they have ...

A proposed ban on PFAS chemicals is being challenged over concerns about potential supply chain disruption in the ...

A University at Buffalo study reveals that a strain isolated from contaminated soil can break down the strong carbon-fluorine ...

Researchers have identified a bacteria strain capable of breaking down and transforming some of the most stubborn forever ...

Forever chemicals, scientifically known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have been around since the 1950s. They’re in everything from nonstick pans to firefighting foams, and are prized ...

"The bond between carbon and fluorine atoms in PFAS is very strong, so most microbes cannot use it as an energy source. The F11 bacterial strain developed the ability to chop away the fluorine and eat ...
