These chemical bonds are incredibly difficult to break down, which means that contaminants from these chemicals build up over time in our environment. As well as in our bodies, they've been found in the soil and in drinking water. “永久化学品”之所以得名,是因为它们含有氟碳键,并且因为它们...
“Think Brita filter, but a thousand times better,” says UBC chemical and biological engineering professor Dr. Madjid Mohseni, who developed the technology. And the other at Stevens Institute of Technology in NJ:: New Stevens Innovation May Help Filter Dangerous 'Forever Chemicals' from Water ...
PFAS “forever chemicals” have been used for decades in fast food and fast casual packaging because of their grease-resistant and water-resistant qualities. However, because of their persistence and omnipresence, this widespread contamination of PFAS will cost taxpayers billions to clean up from drin...
) have developed a new electrochemical method that can remove PFAS chemicals from water and then efficiently release them again for destruction. This new PFAS remediation platform allows these fluorinated contaminants to be collected, identified and then destroyed without needing to incinerate the filter...
“PFAS and food go together like oil and water – they don’t. Our lunch shouldn’t be wrapped in toxic chemicals,” Danielle Melgar, an advocate for consumer safety group U.S. PIRG Education Fund, said in a statement. “When virtually all Americans have PFAS in our bodies and expectant...
Other researchers have worked to create tech that canfilter forever chemicals from water, but this new method can actually break them down, not just remove them. The researchers published theirfull findingsin the journalAngewandte Chemie International Edition....
PFAS are able to make certain products non-stick or stain-repellent(防污的).Therefore,we use the chemicals to make products that are(4) resistant(resist) to oil,heat,stains or water.They are found in everything(5) fromcosmetics(化妆品),to outdoor gear,non- stick ...
About one-third of Colorado's municipalities and counties have not tested for toxic "forever chemicals" in their water supply. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or "PFAS," can cause a host of health issues and CBS News Colorado has reported extensively on their impact and efforts throughout...
Engineers at the University of British Columbia have developed a new water treatment that removes "forever chemicals" from drinking water safely, efficiently—and for good. "Think Brita filter, but a thousand times better," says UBC chemical and biological engineering professor Dr. Madjid Mohseni,...
