Recent research published in the journal Eco-Environment & Health (Volume 2, 2023) reveals groundbreaking insights into how typical PFAAs accelerate the degradation of DNA. The study has uncovered ...

In a study published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Ritsumeikan University researchers described a photocatalytic process that converts PFAS and other fluorinated polymers ...

PFAS, short for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are used to make everything from nonstick cookware to firefighting foam. They are called “forever chemicals” because they break down very ...

On July 27, 2020, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated a final significant use rule (SNUR) for long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylate (LCPFAC) and perfluoroalkyl sulfonate ...

Nearly all humans, and a large proportion of wildlife, are contaminated with environmentally persistent long-chain perfluoroalkyl compounds. That revelation, around for a decade now, has brought ...

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, or PFAS, are synthetic chemicals of emerging concern. Since their development in the mid-20th century, PFAS have been used in numerous consumer and industrial ...

Perfluoroalkyl substances and fluorinated polymers are efficiently decomposed into fluoride ions under ambient conditions by irradiating visible LED light onto semiconductor nanocrystals. The ...

California governor Gavin Newsom signed off on the AB 1817 bill this week as the state continues to crack down on the use of harmful substances that put health and the environment at risk. PFAS are ...
