Mines researchers leading the fight against 'forever' chemicals
Persistent chemical compounds are lurking in our water supply, making their way into drinking water, agriculture and other consumables. How do we begin to treat this problem and make our water safe again?
What are the health effects of PFAS in drinking water?
Colorado researchers – including Dr. Chris Higgins of Colorado School of Mines – are part of large national study to evaluate health consequences of toxic “forever chemicals” in drinking water
Is treating drinking water enough to limit PFAS exposure?
Researchers from three states currently grappling with water contaminated with poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are joining forces to tackle one of the biggest remaining questions facing communities who have found the toxic chemicals used in firefighting foam, nonstick cookware and water-repellent clothing lurking in their water supply.
