Some \u201cforever chemicals\u201d \u2013 so named because of how difficult they are to break down \u2013 can be destroyed using light shining through quantum dots. This method could require less energy than other techniques to destroy the contaminants.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe major advantage of our approach is that it enables degradation using simple and versatile visible-light LEDs,\u201d says Yoichi Kobayashi<\/a> at Ritsumeikan University in Japan.<\/p>\n

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of thousands of chemicals containing\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
