📢 Today is a Historic Day!
⚠April 10: Final PFAS National Primary Drinking Water #Regulation
🚰
In addition to today’s final rule, $1 billion in newly available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help states and territories implement #PFAS testing and treatment.

Excited to share our work on a new separation method for PFAS! PFOA esterification yields highly insoluble products which readily precipitate out of water. Read about it in ES&T letters go.acs.org/8Kj
A report by @johnfortner @YaleEngineering describes a novel, efficient and green chemistry-based #PFOA separation process via high-yield transformation into an insoluble ester with decanol under near room-temperature conditions

What many people don't know: recent decades have seen incredible reductions in poverty. The poverty rate has *never before* been this low in human history.
What new data is now revealing: after the setback from Covid, poverty reduction now continues!
