UBC team develops integrated system to trap and destroy "forever chemicals" in water.

A team at the University of British Columbia has developed a new treatment system that traps and destroys PFAS chemicals, commonly known as "forever chemicals," in a single, integrated system. The UBC system combines an activated carbon filter with a special, patented catalyst that traps harmful chemicals and breaks them down into harmless components. This novel treatment, which is versatile and effective, offers a promising solution to water pollution and may be a low-cost, sustainable solution for municipal water systems and specialized industrial projects.
