Destroying PFAS - "Forever Chemicals" |
|
Multiple studies have linked PFAS exposure to harmful health effects in humans and animals, and without a natural way to break them down, the chemicals persist in soil and contaminate the environment — including water. Now, scientists from Johns Hopkins APL are developing several technologies to capture and destroy these so-called “forever chemicals.”
In two recent studies, the APL team demonstrated an enhanced filtration technique to capture PFAS and an ecofriendly way to destroy them: https://jhuapl.link/htp |
