the researchers then tested a more dilute solution of 1.2 μM PFOA accompanied by 500 μg dissolved organic carbon/L. In this case, the photocatalyst also degraded all the PFOA, though it took two ...

While the dangers of PFOA and PFOS are widely known ... a new version of “green” firefighting foam that contained six-carbon PFAS, known as C6, a group representing the fluorochemical industry ...

She’s been studying PFOA activity in trout, a surprisingly good model for testing the chemical’s human cancer risk (SN Online: 5/21/08), and in human cells. These data show that the 8-carbon ...

PFAS come in long-chain and short-chain varieties. PFOA, also called C-8, has a chain of eight carbon atoms and is in the long-chain category with PFOS. Now, many major manufacturers have phased ...

But the state said at the time PFOA was not a regulated contaminant. In 2005, the company installed a carbon-filter system on its plant wells along the Little Hoosic River after it said low levels ...

The deformations made the BN reactive enough to quickly break down most of the PFOA into benign byproducts, mostly carbon dioxide and fluoride salt — “like the fluoride in our toothpaste ...

even in drinking water that’s been treated to remove PFOS and PFOA. “(Utilities) might have to do some additional different kind of treatment than granulated activated carbon, and so that's ...

DeSantis said Rensselaer County health officials were also made aware of the PFOA contamination at the Taconic site 10 years ago. "Taconic plastics installed granulated active carbon systems on ...
