New polymer tackles PFAS pollution

The problem of cleaning up toxic polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) pollution—commonly used in non-stick and protective coatings, lubricants and aviation fire-fighting foams—has been solved through the discovery of a new low-cost, safe and environmentally friendly method that removes PFAS from water. In The US, contamination by PFAS and other so-called “forever chemicals” has been detected … Continue reading New polymer tackles PFAS pollution
