Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are primarily thought of as environmental pollutants, and most research ...

Rice researchers have developed a process to use PFAS to extract lithium from high-salinity brine pools, described in a study recently published in Nature Water.

In chemistry, some problems are so persistent that they are nicknamed “forever.” Perfluoroalkyl and ...

When Sandia scientists Ryan Davis and Nathan Bays set out to find a better way to absorb and degrade PFAS in water sources, they kept running into the same issue: Detecting the chemicals in samples ...

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are in the headlines, affecting places we know and food we eat. Their ubiquity and persistence make them a global ...

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 ...

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 ...
