Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are manufactured chemicals that have been used for over 50 years.
Traditional soil remediation methods have not been fully successful in reducing or removing them from the environment.
Soil contamination with poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has become a challenging issue due to the negative effects of these substances on the environment and public health.
PFAS have strong chemical structures and their bond with the soil makes them difficult to eliminate from soil environments.
Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are manufactured chemicals that have been used for over 50 years.
Their unique chemical structure provides both hydrophobic and lipophobic properties, making them convenient to use as coatings for carpet, textile and leather paper.
Their dielectric properties, resistance to heat and chemicals, and low surface energy make these substances ideal for use in products with high versatility, strength, resilience and durability.
For example, they have been used in cosmetics, inks, petroleum production, mining, pesticide formulation, fire fighting foams, telecommunication wiring insulation, aerospace, defense, electronics (insulators) and semiconductors, food processing and medical.
