A team of researchers in Japan has discovered specific bacteria within river sediment that are capable of breaking down PFAS, such as PFOS and PFOA, which are commonly referred to as forever chemicals. The investigation revealed that certain strains of these bacteria successfully decreased the concentration of PFAS in polluted sediment and landfill runoff. According to the researchers, these microbes might provide an affordable method for addressing long-lasting environmental contamination, although more research is required to fully understand the mechanism behind how they eliminate these substances.
