The article discusses the increasing threat of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to human health and the environment. PFAS are chemicals that have been used in industrial manufacturing, consumer products, and firefighting foams for decades. They are pervasive in the environment and can enter drinking water supplies through various pathways. PFAS are highly toxic and can lead to severe health concerns. The article highlights a plant-based adsorbent called DEXSORB that has been developed to fully eliminate PFAS from water. DEXSORB is being commercialized for various uses, including environmental monitoring, residential filtration, and municipal and industrial treatment systems. The article also mentions the new regulations proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish maximum contaminant levels for PFAS in drinking water. Cyclopure, the company behind DEXSORB, is excited to provide customers with advanced filtration products to protect their water from PFAS. [Extracted from the article] |
