University of Utah researchers have developed a material that addresses an urgent environmental challenge: the real-time ...

Like asbestos, PFAS were prized for industrial utility but are now linked to long-term, latent health risks. This complicates ...

Researchers have made significant inroads in understanding how nanoplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) -- commonly known as forever chemicals -- disrupt biomolecular structure ...

Taken together, this suggests that distinct molecular structures within each type of PFAS drives changes in gene expression. “PFAS, despite sharing certain chemical characteristics, come in different ...

Substances like PFAS and PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) are known as forever chemicals because they do not break down either in the natural environment or in our own bodies.

The United Nations flag flies on a stormy day during the U.N. General Assembly on Sept. 22, 2022. U.N. experts called out two chemical giants and U.S. regulators over PFAS contamination in North ...

Chemical makers settle PFAS-related claims for $1.19 billion. By Clark Mindock. June 2, 2023 8:40 PM UTC Updated June 2, 2023 The logo for DuPont de Nemours, Inc. is seen on the ...

Wisconsin Wisconsin Republicans propose sweeping plan to address PFAS 'forever chemical' pollution Plan would establish local grants, restrict regulation, call for water treatment research ...

But if six PFAS sounds like a small number, that’s because it is. At this point, more than 12,000 formulations of PFAS exist and only a fifth of Americans’ PFAS exposure comes from drinking water.

A representation of the molecule's structure is used as input to a pretrained transformer, which interprets the molecular structure. The transformer creates a so-called “vector embedding ...

WARREN, MI — An electroplating chemical spill which turned a metro Detroit creek a bright shade of turquoise contained toxic PFAS and heavy metals but the pollution was not concentrated enough ...
