| Abstract | PFAS (short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are man-made chemicals used in many products like non-stick pans, waterproof clothing, and firefighting foam. They are popular because they resist heat, water, and oil. However, that is also what makes them a potential problem — they don’t break down easily in the environment. Over time, PFAS can build up in water, soil, animals, and even people, and they may be harmful to our health. Removing PFAS from water is challenging. Most regular water |
