UC Riverside research finds possible end to forever chemicals
News
16 Mar 2020 | WaterWorld
Using excess electrons could help break the strong carbon-fluorine bonds of PFAS in water, leaving by-products that might even accelerate the process. The reaction also formed a hydrogen fluoride molecule. Whether or not these shortchain molecules are carcinogens at typical concentrations in water has not yet been determined.
