The current definition of PFAS adopted by regulatory agencies such as EPA fails to encompass compounds that pose serious ...

Elevated levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals,” may be associated with metabolic disruptions potentially leading to type 2 diabetes.

For example, alternatives like short-chain PFAS are being explored, as they tend to persist less in the environment and accumulate less in biological systems," Atilla-Gokcumen explains.

For example, alternatives like short-chain PFAS are being explored, as they tend to persist less in the environment and accumulate less in biological systems. However, their reduced persistence may ...

The primary mechanism of PFAS removal by GAC relies on hydrophobic interactions, which are ineffective for the water-soluble short-chain PFAS.

High Throughput PFAS Destruction: The Claros PFAS Destruction System achieved total (i.e. >99.99%) destruction performance on all target PFAS species (long, short and ultra-short chain PFAS) under ...
