They also tested popular national and international brands. The first phase of testing found at least one PFAS compound in 80% of beers sampled. The second phase, using multiple cans of each kind ...
The guidelines’ levels range from 7 to 200,000 parts per trillion PFAS, depending on the compound. But the utility’s policy toward wells with even low PFAS is leading the city to take them out ...
The state's EPA has ordered the Australian subsidiary of 3M a clean-up notice after finding so-called "forever chemicals" at a former firefighting foam testing site. The regulator said the ...
The project is proposed to further reduce PFAS impacts to stormwater discharge from the site, according to an environmental review of the project. The proposed project would collect surface water ...
A diet rich in fibre could help reduce levels of toxic PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances) – otherwise known as "forever chemicals” – in the body, according to two recent US studies ...
Current food packaging often relies on plastics and toxic PFAS coatings, which pose environmental and health risks and are difficult to recycle or compost. Researchers developed a non-toxic, ...
A team from the ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology conducted a study to find out how polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or "forever chemicals" get into beers and how much they contain.
Several technologies exist for removing PFAS from water, including granular activated carbon, ion exchange resins, and high-pressure membrane systems, each with varying costs and effectiveness.
A supercapacitor-assisted electrophotocatalytic system enables efficient defluorination of PTFE and PFAS at low temperatures by combining electrochemical and photochemical energy.
