Researchers in New Zealand are testing a solution against fluoride pollution. The technique has made it possible to degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the molecular level with 99.9 percent efficacy<\/h2>\n

A group of researchers has successfully tested a system for the removal of fluoride-based pollutants, the so-called PFAS or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances<\/strong> said an article<\/a> released by the University of Auckland, in New Zealand. The findings assume considerable importance given the hazardous nature of these substances<\/a> contained in various products – including fire extinguisher foam – that are extremely difficult to dispose of.<\/p>\n

The operation, says a study<\/a> published in the journal Environmental Science Advances, was carried out in the laboratories of the university. And, the article states, it “destroyed 99.88 percent to 100 percent of PFAS<\/strong> in soil from a decommissioned New Zealand Defence Force firefighting training site and in firefighting foam.”<\/p>\n
