Forever chemicals no more? PFAS are destroyed with new technique: PFAS chemicals are associated with low birth weight, thyroid disease and an increased risk of certain cancers. The new method appears to be safer and more energy-efficient. The Northwestern scientists added PFAS molecules to a solution of lye and dimethyl sulfoxide and exposed them to temperatures of up to 248 degrees Fahrenheit. The chemicals degraded into fluoride ions and other harmless byproducts.
