BUFFALO, N.Y. — The first-ever federal restrictions on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water were created last year. Municipalities throughout the country are working to upgrade ...

University of Massachusetts Amherst professors Xiaojun Wei, pictured here, and Chang Liu believe they have discovered a new method to detect per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — “forever chemicals” ...

As its researchers emphasize, though – the new testing method is still in its early stages. But as Liu tells WAMC, the path to better detection and possibly portable PFAS detectors is looking bright. ...

Oxford Chemistry researchers have developed a method to destroy fluorine-containing PFAS (sometimes labeled 'forever chemicals') while recovering their fluorine content for future use. The results ...

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 ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have become prominent environmental and public health concerns. Defined by the OECD in 2020 as “fluorinated substances that contain at least one fully ...

AMHERST, Mass. (WWLP)– Two researchers at UMass Amherst have been working on a new, easier, and less expensive way to detect per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. Chang Liu, associate ...

A portable biosensor developed at La Trobe University may allow rapid, on-site detection of toxic “forever chemicals” in water, removing the need for samples to be sent to specialist laboratories. The ...

Mentor: Kevin Yehl, Ph.D. PFAS (per/polyfluoroalkyl substances) encompass roughly 12,000 man-made chemicals that are incredibly stable. Because of their widespread use and slow degradation, PFAS exist ...

Ehime University investigators measured 34 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in 100 commercial dog and cat foods sold in Japan and detected PFAS across many products, with higher concentrations in ...

Insurance company sensitivity and the court of public opinion tend to run hand in hand as it relates to highly publicized exposures. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), also known as forever ...
