Had a fantastic time filming with @10Things_ToKnow with @R2B2_13 🎥 Excited to share our cutting edge research on the safe removal of PFAS from drinking water. Stay tuned for the segment 🌊 🔬 @Team_Polyfast @DCUEngineering @DCU @scienceirel #PFAS #sfi #cleanwater #sfichallenge
PFAS, a class of thousands of different chemicals, are everywhere - from food wrappers 🍫to paint🎨 to clothes👗 - and can impact human and animal health🐬🐕. In Nov's @10Things_ToKnow @jonathan_mccrea meets @DCU @R2B2_13 & @EadaoinCarthy who are developing new tech to remove these harmful ‘forever chemicals’ from Irish waterways🚰 @DCUWater @NewDecadeFilms @teagasc @MetEireann @scienceirel @EPAIreland @hea_irl @IrishResearch @MarineInst @BordIascMhara #LoveIrishResearch #NationalChallengeFund #10thingstoknowabout

@EadaoinCarthy and @R2B2_13 are working on a filter system to remove PFAs from Irish waterways PFAs, or "forever chemicals", are a group of human-made chemicals which take an extremely long time to breakdown and therefore causing enduring pollution
