New filtration technology could be game-changer in removal of Pfas forever chemicals'

New filtration technology developed by Rice University may absorb some Pfas forever chemicals at 100 times the rate than previously possible, which could dramatically improve pollution control and speed remediations. Researchers also say they have also found a way to destroy Pfas, though both technologies face a steep challenge in being deployed on an industrial scale. A new peer-reviewed paper details a layered double hydroxide (LDH) material made from copper and
