A group of researchers at the University of British Colombia have devised a forever chemical treatment that's super effective.
These links have led scientists to look for ways to purge the forever chemicals from our water supply, and this new tech could offer a permanent treatment.The treatment was designed by researchers at the University of British Columbia, and it utilizes a silica-based material that can absorb up to 99 percent of the forever chemicals found in water. The PFAS are then removed from the material, which can be used again to remove even more toxins.
The UBC team plans to test the material’s ability to remove forever chemicals more widespread in the coming months. The team expects the tests to take around six months to complete. But if they are successful, they’ll provide a strong forever chemical treatment that is very much needed to keep these toxins from getting even more out of hand.
