Description
PFAS is an umbrella term for any of the 9,000 PFAS compounds known to date, currently, there are no federal regulations on PFAS compounds. The PFAS contaminants concentrate in feed crops and water supply, which is then consumed by livestock. PFAS also contaminates rivers and streams from the runoff of farms that use these fertilizers. When the general population consumes these contaminated plants, livestock, and water they are being put at risk. IT has been determined that PFAS has a severe negative impact on health with effects including liver toxicity, suppressed immune function, altered mammary gland development, obesity, and cancer [1]. With the consequences of PFAS consumption becoming clearer and the persistence of these chemicals in the environment, IT is imperative that a remediation solution is found and implemented. CATALYZEH2O has the answer in a novel technology that breaks down PFAS on agricultural farms to ensure the purity of water and the safety of plants, livestock, and the general public. This will be done through the utilization of a dual-stage treatment system that combines advanced electrochemical techniques (EO) with a cutting-edge treatment method known as wafer-enhanced electrodeionization (we-EDI). CATALYZEH2O has proven the first stage with the U.S. Army and has a wedi pioneer and expert in DR. Ulusoy erol who is a published specialist for we-EDI research. ?
