In a study published May 2 in Nature Water, researchers leverage heterogeneous catalysis to not just separate but fully destroy PFAS molecules in water.
Inspired by childhood lessons and nature experiments, Professor Jin Yong Choi at Loyola Marymount University is leading the charge in sustainable water treatment, resource recovery, and hands-on student research.
Both freshwater and brackish water diatoms show population declines when exposed to sucralose, with freshwater diatoms experiencing the most significant impact.
New York tops the list, with a staggering 53.3% of its population – over 10.5 million people – served by water systems with health-based or acute PFAS violations.
