As regulatory pressure increases, chemical companies are turning to AI to identify and replace PFAS and other restricted ...
In collaboration with the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and the University of Bern, Empa researchers have ...
Over 95% of the U.S. general population has quantifiable serum levels of PFAS, with a mean of 2 to 5 parts per billion (ppb) for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), ...
Researchers have made significant inroads in understanding how nanoplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) -- commonly known as forever chemicals -- disrupt biomolecular structure and ...
The study supports risk-based regulatory approaches, emphasizing realistic exposure scenarios for PFAS in textiles.
No single approach fits every site, but landfills that evaluate PFAS technologies within a broader framework will be better ...
Two independent research groups now report for the first time that visible light can break apart PFAS into benign by-products (Nature 2024, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-08179-1 and 10.1038/s41586-024-08327 ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of nearly 10,000 long-lasting chemical compounds that stay in the environment and have been linked to adverse health effects on humans, including ...
