Researchers ahave found a new approach for breaking down PFAS -- a group of human-made 'forever' chemicals commonly used for their water-resistant properties that can carry health risks from long-term ...
The function of many biologically active molecules requires the presence of carbon-nitrogen bonds in strategic positions. The biosynthetic pathways leading to such bonds can be bypassed through ...
The chemicals are fluorinated to prevent many microorganisms from breaking down the strong carbon-fluorine bonds. These bonds tend to be very chemically inert, which makes it difficult for ...
Their chemical structure, which includes carbon-fluorine bonds among the strongest in organic chemistry, makes PFAS highly stable but challenging to break down. As a result, PFAS accumulate in water, ...
