Researchers have found a way to eliminate "permanent chemical" that normally take hundreds or thousands of years to break down.

These harmful chemical are present in many everyday applications and can be ingested by humans through drinking water.

Countries such as the European Union and the United States are planning legislation to restrict their future use.

How long does it take toxic "permanent chemical" to break down? It's a matter of skill because, as their nickname suggests, they don't break down... At least not for hundreds or thousands of years.

However, researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a new water treatment method that can safely, efficiently, and permanently filter and remove harmful permanent chemical, or perfluoroalkyl and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), from drinking water.

Where does PFAS come from?

You can't see them with the naked eye. But with more than 4,700 substances in use, applications of Pfos are likely to occur in your home or workplace and often end up in the environment - particularly leaching into rainwater, soil, sediments, and drinking water, where they can be ingested by humans and animals.

The manufactured chemical have been used by industry since the 1940s: including waterproof wet weather equipment; Make a nonstick pan with a nonstick pan; For anti-fouling fabrics and carpets; Some cosmetics; Fire fighting foam; To make products resistant to oil, water, or oil; Fast food packaging; There are plenty of other household products like shampoo and floss.
