Researchers have discovered a new way to detect per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. This marks an important step forward in creating testing devices that are simpler, more ...

A couple of months ago, our blog published an article on the exploding ubiquity of Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in the environment. TFA is a ...

A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign study is the first to describe an electrochemical strategy to capture, concentrate ...

The PFAS substance group includes approx. 10,000 substances, whereby the fluoropolymers only represent a small subgroup of 38 substances. Some of the low molecular weight PFAS are harmful to ...

On October 9, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it has issued its fifth Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) ...

Not all water filters are created equal when it comes to removing toxic “forever chemicals” like PFAS from drinking water. A ...

Two researchers at UMass Amherst have been working on a new, easier and less expensive way to detect per- and polyfluoroalkyl ...

PFAS are fluorinated chemicals, which means the carbon atoms within their structure are bonded to fluorine atoms—those strong chemical bonds are hard to break, hence needing very high ...

"By understanding the molecular mechanisms of how nanoplastics ... UTEP researchers found that nanoplastics and PFAS corrupt the structure of alpha-lactalbumin protein, thereby potentially ...

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), a family of more than 4,700 chemical molecules, are known for their non-stick and waterproof properties. These versatile compounds find their application in ...

Researchers there have developed a technique for identifying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that could reshape ...
