PFAS – News and Features

Researchers have developed a new filter membrane that can efficiently remove short-chain PFAS from water. Previous treatments could only remove around 25% of these molecules from water.

Scientists have invented a substitute for PFAS "forever chemicals" that is non-toxic but still retains the water repellent properties of PFAS.

Researchers have developed a new PFAS remediation solution that destroys PFAS while turning activated carbon into graphene.

Additionally, the researchers detected high levels of other PFAS not necessarily associated with the fluorochemical plant in over 90% of samples taken from homes.

Researchers have developed a new method for destroying many types of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that also recovers their fluorine content for future use. The technique could help make fluorochemistry more sustainable, they say.

This article explores the current understanding of PFAS exposure through drinking water, the methods used to monitor these "forever chemicals” and the strategies being implemented to mitigate their impact on health and the environment.

This article explores the concept of miniaturization in HPLC, highlighting its role in reducing waste, energy use and improving the overall environmental footprint of chromatography.

This article provides an overview of PFAS, including their chemical properties, health effects and regulatory limits. It also explores PFAS detection methods, with a focus on EPA Method 1633, a key analytical tool.

In a longitudinal study of Hispanic mothers, researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC found a new way to identify women who face an elevated risk for hypertension but are overlooked by current medical guidelines.

The hazardous chemicals have spread out from agricultural land in the lowlands to the country's Black Forest and Palatinate Forest.
