Scientists have identified a form of bacteria that eats the toxic "forever chemicals" that leach into the water supply by way ...

Toxic chemicals, per-, and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, abbreviated as PFAS and also known as "forever chemicals," have been ...

Toxic ‘forever chemicals’ are increasingly showing up in the environment, our food and drinking water, and throughout our ...

In the quest to take the "forever" out of "forever chemicals," bacteria might be our ally. Most remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) involves adsorbing and trapping them, but ...

Now, a University at Buffalo-led team has identified a strain of bacteria that can break down and transform at least three types of PFAS, and, perhaps even more crucially, some of the toxic byproducts ...

A team has identified a strain of bacteria that can break down and transform at least three types of PFAS, and, perhaps even more crucially, some of the toxic byproducts of the bond-breaking process.
