Plant biology offers inspiration for replacing PFAS chemicals
Original: Plant biology provides inspiration for PFAS replacement
Researchers are looking to plant biology for ways to replace PFAS, the persistent 'forever chemicals' used in countless industrial and consumer products. By studying how plants handle water-repellent and protective surfaces, scientists hope to design safer alternatives that avoid the environmental and health problems linked to these long-lasting compounds, amid growing regulatory pressure worldwide.
Why now: Rising concern over PFAS pollution and bans is driving interest in safer alternatives.
