Photocatalysis for PFAS: A Cutting-Edge Solution for Persistent Contaminants Introduction Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. These man-made chemicals, often termed "forever chemicals," are notoriously resistant to degradation, leading to their accumulation in the environment and human body. Their presence in drinking water […]
PFAS Mineralization: The Future of Environmental Remediation Introduction: Understanding the Urgency of PFAS Remediation Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of human-made chemicals notorious for their persistence in the environment and their potential health risks, including cancer and hormonal disruption. As of July 2025, thousands of sites across the United States are contaminated […]
Water and Wastewater Treatment: Essential Practices for a Sustainable Future Water is a fundamental component of life, yet its accessibility and quality are under constant threat from urbanization, industrial activities, and population growth. As several studies underscore, over 2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water, and wastewater treatment remains a challenge for […]
