PRINCETON, New Jersey, Sept. 21 [TNSmaterialsresearch] -- Princeton University issued the following news release:
In a series of lab tests, a relatively common soil bacterium has demonstrated its ability to break down the difficult-to-remove class of pollutants called PFAS, researchers at Princeton University said.
The bacterium, Acidimicrobium bacterium A6, removed 60% of PFAS -- specifically perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) -- in lab . . .
