Modified Iron Particles Could Improve Bioremediation of PFAS
Listen now
Description
Iron particles coated in a nontoxic material may enhance PFAS degradation by a certain bacterium, according to researchers funded by the NIEHS Superfund Research Program. The study could inform bioremediation efforts that harness the microbe, known as Strain A6, for cleaning up contaminated soil, sediments, and aquifers.
