New federal rules require nearly all harmful PFAS compounds to be removed from drinking water – a tough challenge with these so-called “forever chemicals.” Professor Yin Wang and Associate Professor Xiaoli Ma, civil & environmental engineering, recently discussed two innovative approaches to improving the efficiency and precision of removal with Spectrum News.
Ma’s lab is focused on membrane technology, while Wang’s lab works with adsorbents. Both also are contributing to our understanding of PFAS and how prevalent it is in our environment.
