“In a groundbreaking achievement, researchers at the University of Missouri have developed a simple yet effective method to break down “forever chemicals” (PFAS) using granular activated carbon (GAC). By heating PFAS with GAC at a moderate temperature, they achieve a remarkable 90% mineralization, transforming these persistent pollutants into harmless inorganic fluorine. This innovative approach offers a cost-effective and sustainable solution for communities worldwide, providing new hope in the fight against PFAS contamination
