ITHACA, New York, June 10 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
A new study identifies microbes that potentially play important roles in breaking down harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) chemicals - also known as "forever chemicals" - and points to functional genes that may be involved in biologically transforming these compounds.
Although microorganisms are known to facilitate PFAS transformation, the key microorganisms and genes res . . .
