Using Nanotechnology and Microbes to Break Down “Forever Chemicals”

With increased regulatory pressure to reduce the use of “forever chemicals” such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) in food packaging, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the University at Buffalo are looking to nanotechnology to break down PFAS into smaller pieces which microbes can then digest.
