These strong chemical bonds help PFAS resist degradation. We published this ... new method our team has developed uses a purely organic photocatalyst. A photocatalyst is a substance that speeds ...

Adding fluorine to drug molecules can be tricky, but is often worthwhile. Rachel Brazil talks to the chemists trying to tame ...

degradation of long-chain to short-chains). Assess the potential and efficacy of biodegradation and mineralization of short-chain PFAS Perform molecular modeling to discover, detect, and refine ...

PFAS degradation then takes place at the liquid/gas interface. (...) After three hours of successive treatments, we succeeded in eliminating between 98%-99% of PFAS, with the formation of ...

“It is a photocatalyst, so if you shine a light on it, that will speed things up,” Foster says. Foster is currently working on developing a PFAS filtration system for homes and small ...

He received a B.S. in Environmental Engineering from Yale University, where he worked on developing electrocatalytic membranes for PFAS degradation in water. Currently, he is studying novel membranes ...

The exceptional chemical properties of PFAS – non-stick, water-repellent, stain-resistant, etc. – that make them highly popular with manufacturers also prevent their natural degradation.

PFAS are synthetic chemicals widely used since the 1940s, accumulating in the environment due to their resistance to degradation. Drinking water is a significant source of PFAS exposure ...
