PFAS, known as 'forever chemicals,' can persist in the environment for up to 1,000 years due to their strong carbon-fluorine bonds, leading to widespread contamination.
Despite their useful properties, PFAS raise serious health concerns linked to various diseases, pushing for innovative methods to break down these resilient substances effectively.
Traditional methods of treating PFAS in water often fail, as they merely concentrate contaminants and create PFAS-laden waste, underscoring the need for effective degradation solutions.
Our team's new chemical system harnesses light to break carbon-fluorine bonds, presenting a promising approach to tackling the significant environmental challenges posed by PFAS.
