Awesome! Now how about from our bodies? 🙈
Just inject a bunch of GAC (granular activated carbon) directly into your arm!
Yeah I’m kind of pressing x to doubt here
Pfas is not A chemical, it’s a large collection of different chemicals (Wikipedia says in the millions) with different elements and to say that one method converts all of them in graphene sounds rather ridiculous at best.
note: not a chemist here, I just have some basic understanding of chemistry, but I do understand that different materials require different processes to manage
From the article, they are converting the granular activated carbon (GAC) that holds the PFAS into graphene. The PFAS itself is just converted “into inert, nontoxic fluoride salts.”
GAC is one way to filter PFAS out of drinking water, but then you’re left with a bunch of PFAS-laden media that you have to do something with. So this is one potential method of dealing with that.
