“The bond between carbon and fluorine atoms in PFAS is very strong ... We not only accounted for PFAS byproducts but found some of them continued to be further degraded by the bacteria,” says the ...

The microorganisms belong to the genus Acetobacterium and they are commonly found in wastewater environments ... they have stubbornly strong carbon-fluorine chemical bonds, which make them ...

Unlike fluorine, fluoride (F-) is an anion that must be paired with a counterion (in this case a cation), such as sodium or potassium, to make a "real" chemical. There are dozens of fluoride minerals ...

Herbert Roesky relates how the small, highly electronegative fluorine atom unveiled the chemical reactivity of noble gases and found many practical applications. but it can also render organic ...

Bacteria found to eat forever chemicals, and even some of their toxic byproducts Jan 23, 2025 More microbes found that break down the carbon-fluorine bonds found in some unsaturated PFAS ...

Of those tested, wristbands that cost more than $30 contained more fluorine than those under $15. Next, following a chemical extraction, all the wristbands were checked for 20 different PFAS. PFHxA ...
