WATERING HOLE

- All Faculty and Students Welcome!

This Month:
Hear how Northwestern chemist Will Dichtel is removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) from our water. PFAS are found in up to a third of U.S. drinking water and are associated with many negative health effects.

In this presentation, learn about the groundbreaking materials that capture PFAS from water, which can be washed and reused in ways that allow these “forever chemicals” to be broken down into safe byproducts.
