Summary:
- PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of synthetic chemicals that are highly persistent in the environment and can be harmful to human health.
- Water treatment utilities are facing challenges in removing PFAS from drinking water, as traditional water treatment methods are often ineffective.
- Researchers are exploring new technologies, such as advanced oxidation processes and membrane filtration, to improve the removal of PFAS from water supplies and protect public health.
