UC Berkeley process could lower PFAS destruction costs

SUSTENANCE: UC Berkeley research describes a method that doubles PFAS molecular size to enable cheaper destruction

UC Berkeley researchers describe a process that doubles PFAS molecular size, making the pollutants easier to destroy. This approach could lower costs for cleaning up PFAS contamination—a widespread environmental health risk linked to water and food safety. By potentially reducing environmental contamination, the method addresses a critical pathway for safer water and food systems. The source material is brief and full details remain with the original research.
