Biofilms offer hope for cleaning up 'forever chemicals' in water
PFAS chemicals, known as "forever chemicals", are commonly found in water. Biofilms, which are groups of microorganisms, interact with these chemicals in water. This interaction affects how the chemicals behave and move in the environment. Biofilms can absorb PFAS chemicals and may even help break them down. This process could be important for cleaning up contaminated water. More research is needed to understand these interactions better.
