The prevalence of the various per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — compounds that are notoriously difficult to break down — in the water supply is causing global concern. A new ...

The $35 million facility is in addition to 33 existing PFAS treatment systems Veolia already operates for water customers in the United States. Veolia will continue to install treatment systems to ...

The pollutants belong to a class of compounds known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. The so-called “forever chemicals” − a name attributed to PFAS' centuries-long half-life ...

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals, collectively known as PFAS, consist of more than 12,000 man-made chemical compounds that are "used in a broad array of consumer products," explains ...

Osaka Metropolitan University chemists may put an end to the "forever" life of PFAS with their simple yet innovative technique that converts these harmful substances into valuable compounds.

PFAS compounds have carbon-fluorine bonds, one of the strongest in chemistry. These bonds make PFAS incredibly stable. They resist the degradation processes that usually break down industrial ...

RELATED: A lot of Colorado drinking water could contain potentially hazardous levels of “forever chemicals” under new EPA standard PFAS covers a broad range of chemical compounds widely used ...

Still, the study found that hundreds more genes whose expression changed in different directions based on the compound tested ...

Their procedure avoids the use of PFAS reagents. It thus provides an environmentally friendly synthesis route for pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds that rely on the presence of the ...
