🚱 #PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance) are emitted from landfill gas. PFAS are part of many products such as children’s clothing, cosmetics and #wastewater treatment sludge solids, ending up in landfills. 📰 A recent study shows that high concentrations of PFAS, the "forever chemicals", are released from #landfill through gaseous emissions, which are usually released untreated unlike leachates that can be treated with, e.g. reverse osmosis. 💡 The authors recommend to work on removal practices or including measures to burn the vapors or trap them for #energy production to lower the #impact on the #environment.

🌍 Did you know? PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," are lurking in everyday items like non-stick cookware and waterproof clothing. But they don’t just disappear - they persist in the environment, posing serious risks. At CHAR Tech, we're on a mission to eliminate these stubborn chemicals. Our pyrolysis process has shown incredible promise, destroying 31 types of PFAS in pilot tests and converting waste into valuable biochar. It's a significant leap forward in environmental safety and sustainability. Missed our blog on this? Don't worry—catch up now and learn how we're turning the tide on PFAS: https://ow.ly/9kMj50Tj4Mv #Environment #Innovation #ForeverChemicals #PFAS #Sustainability #Blog

How resilience is our body against PFAS? ABC News has examined the growing concern of PFAS, known as the "forever chemical," and concurs that while industries can adapt and innovate, our bodies may not be as resilient. That's why we have developed a new technology that extracts 99% of regulated PFAS from water, soil, and biosolids, ultimately reducing their presence in our environment. Our solution can be seamlessly integrated into water, waste, and soil treatment facilities, ensuring a healthier future for everyone. https://hubs.li/Q02HVd9K0 While wait, when we can make a difference today!

CEO at Politubes - EV Tubes® for E-Mobilty, Nomex ®, Kapton ®, Mylar ® tubes & insulator caps. Heat shrink tubes for BLDC motors. Transformers insulation & protection tubes. Release liners for tire producers.
INSULATING TUBES AND CAPS PFAS FREE. Politubes provides a custom designed range of insulating tubes and caps 100% PFAS free. PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl) substances are a large class of thousands of synthetic chemicals that are used throughout society. However, they are increasingly detected as environmental pollutants and some are linked to negative effects on human health. They all contain carbon-fluorine bonds, which are one of the strongest chemical bonds in organic chemistry. This means that they resist degradation when used and also in the environment. Most PFAS are also easily transported in the environment covering long distances away from the source of their release. PFAS have been frequently observed to contaminate groundwater, surface water and soil. Cleaning up polluted sites is technically difficult and costly. If releases continue, they will continue to accumulate in the environment, drinking water and food. For all these reasons there are growing restrictions to PFAS from official authorities. We believe it is important to inform that all our tubes and insulator caps are PFAS free.

🔍 Struggling with PFAS Contamination? Discover how to tackle these persistent pollutants with our latest insights! Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often called "forever chemicals," are synthetic compounds used for decades in various industrial applications due to their resistance to heat, water, and oil. This resilience has led to widespread environmental contamination, as PFAS are notoriously difficult to break down. Explore effective methods for addressing PFAS, including: - Techniques that use advanced materials for better filtration. - Innovative methods to break down harmful substances. - Natural processes that clean up contaminants. Stay informed and find solutions to manage these challenging pollutants. #PFASRemoval #WaterTreatment #InfinitaLab #EnvironmentalHealth

🔬 PFAS: The Hidden Danger in Everyday Products 🔬 PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are synthetic chemicals used in many industrial and consumer products. Known for their resistance to heat, water, and oil, PFAS are also highly persistent in the environment, leading to widespread contamination of water, soil, and air. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to serious health issues, including cancer and immune system disorders. Global regulatory actions are increasingly aimed at limiting and banning PFAS due to these risks. The chemical industry is actively exploring safer alternatives to minimize environmental and health impacts. At AUM DACRO COATINGS, we are dedicated to providing safe and effective solutions. For any zinc flake coating needs, please contact us. Together, we can work towards a safer and more sustainable future.
