Researchers develop methods for breaking down forever chemicals

Scientists have created two new methods to break down PFAS, commonly known as "forever chemicals," using hydrodynamic cavitation and cold atmospheric plasma with gas dispersion. These techniques offer promising solutions for removing persistent pollutants from the environment. The findings were published in two scientific journals, highlighting progress in environmental remediation.
